Case A:The case study is likely to occur during the stage of an economic expansion

Reasons:

The rise in prices may be because of inflation, which is common to happen during economic expansions

Taylor feels confident in her financial situation. People don't spend money on things they don't really need unless they don't feel secure financially.

Case C: The bakeries owned by Bhkati has been reducing the sales so she had to close one of her stores. So that's definitely a contraction almost arriving to the lower point (Trough) because if the sales don't increase she might have to close more stores.

in this case they are in a peak of Expansion becuase they are doing a great job and customer are buying a lot, making new and more purshases , It's reflecting in the increase of payment rate for Kyle and and the rest of the staff and additional they needs to produce more quantity per week

# data[].attributes.body
Case E

They are in the contraction stage but in the trough part, because they are getting a house but also getting a big debt for it , until they pay for that loan they are not getting closer to the expansion peak

Alexandre Duarte, Angie Melissa, Diana Carolina, Maria Alejandra and Hellin.

Answer #2 Maria Alejandra:

I might to choose: case A about Taylor and the Increase in Surfboard Prices
So, the phase of the Business Cycle could be: Peak

Because a significant increase in prices indicates that the economy might be at the peak of the business cycle, where inflation is high due to strong demand and limited production capacity.

This is important because this is a period just before the economy starts to slow down.

Case A : Case study A is about Taylor who wants to buy a surfboard and she saves for two years to be able to buy the board, after two years she goes to the store and they realize that the price has increased by 10% which means that it is in an expansion stage since prices have increased in recent years and she has had a stable job which has allowed her to save during those years for the surfboard.

# data[].attributes.body
case b: Expansion because economic activity is increasing, jobs and people's consumption are increasing.

# data[].attributes.body
Case D : I can place it in expansion and at the top, because the company is at its top in sales showing positive liquidity to improve the salaries of employees and the employees are committed to the company, increasing their productivity.

# data[].attributes.body
For Taylor this business cycle is in contraction, because she will need to save more money to pay the 10%
