4) W. L. Gore has manufacturing facilities in only one country.

Answer 1

W. L. Gore has manufacturing facilities only in the U.S., China, Germany, Japan, and Scotland.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information provided, the most accurate statement is option 2) W. L. Gore has manufacturing facilities only in the U.S., China, Germany, Japan, and Scotland. When a bank repays a loan at the discount window to the Federal Reserve, it will decrease bank reserves but have no effect on the monetary base.

The question states that W. L. Gore has manufacturing facilities in these specific countries, but it does not mention manufacturing facilities in all 30 countries where it has business activities. Therefore, statement 1) is incorrect. Statement 3) is also incorrect because it claims that W. L. Gore has manufacturing facilities in all countries except the specified countries. Finally, statement 4) is not supported by the information given.
