A)204
B)75
C)153
D)115
E)172

The Taguchi constant can be calculated using the formula for the loss function L = kV, where L is the loss per unit, V is the mean squared deviation, and k is the Taguchi constant. Given L = $13.75 and V = (0.30)^2 = 0.09, we solve for k: k = L/V = 13.75/0.09 = 152.78, which rounds to 153.
