This is correct, but the full multiplier effect is perhaps easier to understand. Once everyone has deposited their money with the bank, there will be $1000 in reserves. AND $10,000 IN LOANS. From the one $1000 initial (new) deposit.

And get this. That is at 10% reserve ratio. Most Wall St banks are actually using 3% or less. Meaning they will loan out $30 - 50 THOUSAND, for every ONE THOUSAND in new deposits.
