Explain why a reduction in the price of a normal good does not increase the demand for that good?

A normal good could be anything used on the daily, whether it be at home or work, etc. So, say the price for staples goes down, that doesn't mean there is a sudden surge for a surplus of staples. Whoever is buying them will spend less, but they don't need any more staples now compared to when the staples cost more, before the price was decreased.

The business cycle is the periodic but irregular up-and-down movement in economic activity, measured by fluctuations in real gross domestic product (gdp) and other macroeconomic variables. a business cycle is typically characterized by four phases—recession, recovery, growth, and decline—that repeat themselves over time. economists note, however, that complete business cycles vary in length. the duration of business cycles can be anywhere from about two to twelve years, with most cycles averaging six years in length. some business analysts use the business cycle model and terminology to study and explain fluctuations in business inventory and other individual elements of corporate operations. but the term "business cycle" is still primarily associated with larger (industry-wide, regional, national, or even international) business trends.
