C) No, because the project's rate of return is 16.45 percent

Explanation:

Year 0: CF = - 132.,000

Year 1: CF = 97,000

Year 2: CF = 42,000

Year 3: CF = 28,000

using an excel spreadsheet we can calculate the project's IRR = 16.45%

the company established as a rule that it will only accept projects whose IRR is higher than 17%, but since this project's IRR is lower (16.45%), then it should be rejected.
