How did the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act contribute to the Great Depression? Foreign countries refused to buy American goods due to its passage.

Successful American businesses forced foreign businesses to close.

The correct answer is A) Foreign countries refused to buy American goods due to its passage.

The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act contributed to the Great Depression in that Foreign countries refused to buy American goods due to its passage.

This act was best known as the Tariff Act of 1930. Ii imposed considerable tariffs over imports. Obviously, US former trading partners and foreign countries imposed similar actions over the US products as retaliation measures. That is why the US products couldn't be exported, affecting more the already struggling US economy.

The act had been signed by US President Herbert Hoover in June 1930.

answer: a

explanation:  

stocks and bonds are the two main classes of assets investors use in their portfolios. stocks offer an ownership stake in a company, while bonds are akin to loans made to a company (a corporate bond) or other organization (like the u.s. treasury). in general, stocks are considered riskier and more volatile than bonds.

savings accounts are just money in a bank- they are insured by the fdic for up to 250,000.   very little risk

the average mutual fund holds hundreds of different securities, which means mutual fund shareholders gain important diversification at a low price. which means if one stock or bond drops it will have very little affect on the mutual fund - again very little risk
