Since Jettison was unable to obtain any concessions from National Bank, Jettison reclassified the long-term debt as a current liability. However, within the first three months of the next year, Jettison has been able to correct the debt agreement violation and restore the current ratio to 2.2:1, which is acceptable to National Bank. Therefore, the debt does not have to be repaid early.

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.
