This document shows that the multiplier (k) is equal to 1 divided by 1 minus the marginal propensity to consume (mpc) or marginal propensity to import (mps). It provides two examples where the mpc or mps is given, and calculates the resulting multiplier of 2.5 in both cases. It also notes that depreciation occurs under a floating exchange rate system while devaluation occurs under a fixed exchange rate system.
