Before the agreement, Nigeria imported machinery worth \$200\,\text{million} and exported cocoa worth \$120\,\text{million}. After the agreement, the quantity of machinery imported fell by \(10\\%\) and the quantity of cocoa exported rose by \(20\\%\), while the tariff and subsidy rates applied to the new quantities. Calculate the net change in government revenue (in millions of dollars) resulting from the tariff loss and the subsidy outlay.
