Answer:

5

Explanation:

Money multiplier helps to explain how an economic activity boosts the economic output for the country. It shows how saving in terms of deposit increases the net supply of money in any economy.

Money multiplier = 1/reserve ratio

given reserve ratio = 20% = 20/100 = 0.2

thus,

Money multiplier = 1/0.2 = 5
