In a foreign exchange market, the daily demand for US Dollars ($\text{USD}$) in Nigeria is represented by the function $Q_d = 250 - 0.25 E$, and the daily supply of US Dollars is represented by $Q_s = 50 + 0.25 E$, where $Q$ is the quantity in millions of US Dollars and $E$ is the exchange rate in Naira per Dollar ($\text{NGN/USD}$). If the monetary authority fixes the exchange rate at $\$1 = \text{NGN } 350$, how many millions of US Dollars must the central bank release from its foreign reserves daily to clear the market deficit and defend this pegged rate?

The market supply from producer cooperatives is given by $Q_s = -100 + 8P$. What is the equilibrium market quantity of cashew nuts in bags?
