    C. 40000

    Explanation:

    As per Money Multiplier / Credit Creator:

    Total Money Creation = (1/Legal Reserve Ratio) times Initial Deposits

    (1/0.25) i. e 4 times Initial Deposits = 4 X 10000 = 40000

    Money Multiplier Working : It is based on assumptions that - Entire banking system is unified, all payments & receipts go through bank.

    Suppose: With new deposits $1000, LRR proportion (CRR & SLR i. e mandated to be kept by banks with themselves, banks respectively) - i. e 25% = $250 is retained & remaining $750 is lended. Lent funds $750 are spent by borrower, which are received in someone else's bank account (one person expenditure is other person income & assumption). Again, 20% of these deposited $750 i. e $150 is retained & remaining $600 is lended again. These $600 spent & received by someone further create deposit again.

    This process goes in till : Final Deposits = 1/LRR X Initial deposits (100) and become $400
