Answer:

The NOT CORRECT statement is:

b. Larger total undiscounted profits from the project over the project's life.

Explanation:

The MACRS (Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System) apportions larger depreciation expense in the earlier years of the asset's life, as it attempts to depreciate higher cost in those earlier years than the later years.  This implies that the accounting profits in the early years can only be smaller and the undiscounted profits cannot be larger over the project's life.
