Superior Developers sells lots for residential development. When lots are sold, Superior recognizes income for financial reporting purposes in the year of the sale. For some lots, Superior recognizes income for tax purposes when the cash is collected. In 2023, Superior sold lots for $20 million, for which no cash was collected at the time of the sale. This cash will be collected equally over 2024 and 2025. The enacted tax rate was 40% at the time of the sale. In 2024, a new tax law was enacted, revising the tax rate from 40% to 25% beginning in 2025. Calculate the total amount by which Superior should change its deferred tax liability in 2024.
