Calculating Lost Profit from Production Cutback

A plantation produces a good sold at a constant market price of $400 per ton. The plantation's marginal private cost of production is given by the equation: MPC = 200 + (Q/400), where Q is the quantity in tons. The plantation initially produces at its profit-maximizing level. Due to a new regulation aimed at addressing negative environmental impacts, the plantation is required to reduce its output to a socially optimal level of 38,000 tons. Calculate the total reduction in the plantation's profit resulting from this output decrease. Provide only the numerical answer.
