Detailed explanation-1: -The money multiplier formula is simply 1/r where r is the reserve ratio. This means that the smaller r is, the bigger the money multiplier is. Alternately, as r gets bigger, the money multiplier gets smaller, meaning there is less money supply in the economy.

Detailed explanation-2: -A one-dollar increase in the monetary base causes the money supply to increase by more than one dollar. The increase in the money supply is the money multiplier. Money is either currency held by the public or bank deposits: M =C+D.

Detailed explanation-3: -Given the following, calculate the M1 money multiplier using the formula m 1 = 1 + (C/D)/[rr + (ER/D) + (C/D)]. Once you have m, plug it into the formula MS = m × MB. So if m 1 = 2.6316 and the monetary base increases by $100, 000, the money supply will increase by $263, 160.

Detailed explanation-4: -The money multiplier tells us by how many times a loan will be “multiplied” as it is spent in the economy and then re-deposited in other banks. The money multiplier is then multiplied by the change in excess reserves to determine the total amount of M1 money supply created in the banking system.
