An updated to this post, since it not accurate anymore:

As of 1.0.7, the experience bonus gained from Monter Power level as been change to the following and everything is additive:

  • MP 1: 25% (up from 10%)
  • MP 2: 50% (up from 20%)
  • MP 3: 80% (up from 30%)
  • MP 4: 120%(up from 45%)
  • MP 5: 165% (up from 60%)
  • MP 6: 215% (up from 75%)
  • MP 7: 275% (up from 95%)
  • MP 8: 340% (up from 115%)
  • MP 9: 420% (up from 135%
  • MP 10: 510% (up from 160%)

For the next patch 1.0.8, Blizzard said Valor Stacks will be multiplicative, like the 10% bonus gained for every other players in a multiplayer game (hence limited to 30%):

Also, just reiterating what others have said, Nephalem Valor stacks are now multiplicative, not additive. The simple calculation is: [ 100%(base) + bonus from MP + helm ruby + ring] * [1 + Up to 0.75 from NV + Up to 0.30 for multiplayer]
