In the calculation of GDP, investment refers to the purchase of goods that will be used to produce other goods and services in the future. Among the options provided, the most relevant choice would be:

**A manufacturing firm builds a new plant in Mexico.**

However, it's important to note that investment in this context generally refers to domestic investment. Building a plant in Mexico would count as an investment outflow and does not contribute to the GDP of the original country. Under typical GDP calculations, this specific example may not be included depending on the context (i.e., it would be positive for Mexico's GDP).

If you're looking for an investment that directly contributes to a domestic GDP calculation from the options provided, none do.
