Answer to Question 1

There are two reasons why the real world multiplier is smaller than the deposit multiplier, 1/RR. First, banks do not loan out all their excess reserves. Banks like to keep some excess reserves on hand in case withdrawals are higher than the bank might typically expect. If this is the case, then the amount of money that is available to loan out in the next round is a bit smaller. This will shrink the amount of money expansion. Second, not all money that is loaned out in the money expansion process is put back into the banking system. Some of it leaks out in the form of currency and does not get entirely redeposited. Both of these actions make the money expansion smaller.

Answer to Question 2
