You are given the following information on the banking system

Reserve requirement rr = 0.08
Currency-deposit ratio c = 0.10
Excess reserve ratio e = 0.05

Compute the simple deposit and money multipliers.


Simple deposit multiplier 1/rr = 1/0.08 = 12.5

Money multiplier (c + 1 )/(c + rr + e) = (0.10 + 1 )/(0.10 + 0.08 + 0.05 ) = 4.78
