    D) Luigi should hire both workers as long as their marginal products do not change.

    Explanation:

    As long as the employees' marginal revenue product equals or exceeds their marginal cost, they should be hired.

    Marginal revenue product = marginal physical output x price per unit

    The marginal cost for hiring both Jessie and Kathy is $80.

    Jessie's marginal revenue product = 10 pizzas x $9 per pizza = $90 > $80

    Kathy's marginal revenue product = 9 pizzas x $9 per pizza = $81 > $80
