    Explanation

    Business cycles are identified as having four distinct phases:

    1. Expansion,

    2. Peak,

    3. Contraction, and

    4. Trough.

    Expansion is the phase of the business cycle when the economy moves from a trough to a peak. It is a period when the level of business activity surges and gross domestic product (GDP) expands until it reaches a peak. A period of expansion is also known as an economic recovery.

    An expansion is characterized by increasing employment, economic growth, and upward pressure on prices.
