Good morning, friends and tutors. Permission to answer the question above

1. Business cycle is a condition that shows economic fluctuations in a country and is

reflected in the level of real GDP of that country over a certain period of time.
According to Samuelson & Nordhaus (2004), a business cycle is an economic
fluctuation in a country's gross domestic product, income, and employment, usually
lasting two to ten years and characterized by contraction or broadening expansion in
most areas of the economy. According to Sukwiati, Jamal & Sukamto (2009), there
are several stages in the business cycle, which can be divided into four stages it is
depression, recovery, prosperity, and recession. The business cycle is also caused
by several factors, namely national and foreign economic shocks. The two shocks
can be divided into intrinsic and extrinsic factors of the economy. Intrinsic factors
include the country's economic situation and policies. External factors such as the
level of world oil prices and general elections in a country.
2. A business cycle is a series of economic movements that follow a repeating pattern.
The economic activity of a company can be explained by the business cycle. Cycles
are indeed something that can be learned by a business or a business carried out by
others. Business cycles can also be used as a basis for moving forward. In studying
the business cycle we can minimize errors, the business will run smoothly throughout
the business cycle based on the right decisions. This is one of the business
management strategies to avoid losses and failures in business, and recognizing the
business cycle has a great influence on the direction of business development in the
future.
3. In my opinion, the best month to open a business is the fasting month of Ramadan,
because in that month we can open a culinary business and even open other
businesses such as Muslim clothing stores. Opportunities to open a culinary
business in the month of Ramadhan, because in the month of Ramadan, people's
consumption patterns have increased. For example, during the fasting month, there
are some people who do not have time to prepare a menu for breaking fast or sahur.
With this opportunity, we can try to open a food catering as a business in the month
of Ramadan. Examples of other businesses such as Muslim clothing stores, this is
because the month of Ramadan both men and women use Muslim clothes and
covers in their daily lives. Just like the catering business, if this Muslim clothing
business develops well, it can be used as a permanent business.
