Mortgage Multiplier given a Reserve Requirement of 10%

Assume a 100K time deposit in a bank.

Then assume this money is then lent out for twenty mortgages, each 10% less than the last due to the reserve requirement.
Assume each mortgage is a title transfer between two bank customers and held by the same bank.

Total Reserves: $87,842.33
Total Reserves + Last Amount Deposited: 100.00k in the Bank

Total Amount of Deposits: $890,581.01
Total Amount Lent Out: $790,581.01

Total Interest on $790,581.01 for one year at 5% Interest = $39,529.05

$39,529.05 is equal to just under 40% annual interest on 100k deposit.
