If the required reserve ratio is 2.50 percent, what is the monetary multiplier? if the monetary multiplier is 5, what is the required reserve ratio? percent

If the required reserve ratio is 2.50 percent, the monetary multiplier is 40.

The money multiplier gives us the ratio of deposits to reserves (i.e. 1/R). That means, if the reserve ratio is 2.50% (i.e. 0.025), the money multiplier is 40 (i.e. 1/0.025). Thus, an initial deposit of USD 1,000 will end up creating a total of USD 40,000 in new money.

If the monetary multiplier is 5, the required reserve ratio is 20%.

Playing with the original multiplier formula, we can derive that R=1/m (m is money multiplier). If the money multiplier is 5, then the reserve ratio is 20% (i.e. 1/5 or 0.20).
