    1. change in money supply = 500*10=$5000

    2. change in money supply = 800*5 = $4000

    3. change in money supply = 3000 * 2 = $6000

    4. change in money supply = 500 * 10 = $5000

    5. change in money supply = 5,000,000*50 = $250,000,000

    Change in money supply = change in reserves * money multiplier

    money multiplier = 1 / reserve ratio
