Understand that the Production Possibilities Frontier (PPF) represents the maximum combinations of two goods or services that an economy can produce given its resources and technology.
Recognize that an outward shift of the PPF means the economy can produce more of both goods than before, indicating economic growth or an increase in productive capacity.
Identify the factors that can cause the PPF to shift outward: an increase in available resources (such as labor, capital, or natural resources) or improvements in technology.
Evaluate each option: a decrease in technology, reduction in labor force, or decrease in capital stock would reduce productive capacity and shift the PPF inward, not outward.
Conclude that the only option that causes an outward shift of the PPF is an increase in available resources.
