Davo inc began operations in january 2013 for certain of


Davo Inc. began operations in January 2013. For certain of its property sales, Davo recognizes income in the period of sale for financial reporting purposes. However, for income tax purposes, Davo recognizes income when it collects cash from the buyer's installment payments.

In 2013, Davo had $681 million in sales of this type. Scheduled collections for these sales are as follows:

  2013  $84 million

  2014  138 million

  2015  130 million

  2016  163 million

  2017  166 million

$681 million

Assume that Davo has a 29% income tax rate and that there were no other differences in income for financial statement and tax purposes.

Suppose that, in 2014, legislation revised the income tax rates so that Davo would be taxed in 2015 and beyond at 39%, rather than 29%. Assume that there were no other differences in income for financial statement and tax purposes. Ignoring operating expenses and additional sales in 2014, what deferred tax liability would Davo report in its year-end 2014 balance sheet? (Round your answer to the nearest whole million.)
