exceeds Total Payments. Thus,
BOP= CREDIT>DEBIT
● A Deficit in the BOP occurs when Total Payments
exceeds Total Receipts. Thus,
BOP= CREDIT<DEBIT

Business cycles are intervals of expansion followed
by recession in economic activity. These changes
have implications for the welfare of the broad
population as well as for private institutions

There are numerous sources of business cycle
movements such as rapid and significant changes in
the price of oil or variation in consumer sentiment
that affects overall spending in the macroeconomy
and thus investment and firms' profits.
The classical cycle refers to rises and falls in
total production. The growth cycle is concerned
with fluctuations in the growth rate of
production.
02
Business cycle fluctuations are usually
characterized by general upswings and
downturns in a span of macroeconomic
variables..
18. FEATURE
❖ OCCURS PERIODICALLY
❖ MAJOR SECTORS ARE AFFECTED
❖ PROFIT VARIATION
❖ WORLDWIDE IMPACT
❖ WAVE LIKE MOVEMENT
❖ REPETITIVE FLUCTUATION
❖ LACK OF SYMMETRY
❖ NO FIXED TIME INTERVAL
❖ ECONOMY WIDE PHENOMENON
19. CAUSES
● EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION OF LOANS
BYS BANKS.
● CHANGE IN VOLUME OF INVESTMENTS.
● UNDER CONSUMPTION OR EXCESSIVE SAVING.
● LACK OF ADJUSTMENTS BETWEEN DEMAND
AND SUPPLY.
● FELLING OF ENTREPRENEUR.
20. PHASES
The 6 phases of business life-cycle are
1.Expansion
2.Peak
3.Recession
4. Depression
5.Trough
6.Recovery
21. Expansion
The first stage in the business cycle is expansion. In this stage,
there is an increase in positive economic indicators such as
employment, income, output, wages, profits, demand, and
supply of goods and services
22. Peak
The economy then reaches a saturation point, or
peak, which is the second stage of the business
cycle. The maximum limit of growth is attained.
The economic indicators do not grow further and
are at their highest. Prices are at their peak.
23. Recession
The recession is the stage that follows the peak phase. The demand
for goods and services starts declining rapidly and steadily in this
phase.
24. Depression
There is a commensurate rise in unemployment. The growth in the
economy continues to decline, and as this falls below the steady growth
line, the stage is called a depression.
25. Trough
In the depression stage, the economy’s growth
rate becomes negative. There is further decline
until the prices of factors, as well as the demand
and supply of goods and services, contract to
reach their lowest point.
26. Recovery
After the trough, the economy moves to the stage
of recovery. In this phase, there is a turnaround in
the economy, and it begins to recover from the
negative growth rate. Demand starts to pick up
due to low prices and, consequently, supply
begins to increase. The population develops a
positive attitude towards investment and
employment and production starts increasing.
