Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

An instrument rule sets the policy instrument using a formula based on the current state of the economy. A targeting rule sets the policy instrument at a level that makes the central bank's forecast of the ultimate policy goals equal to their targets. The main difference between the two is that the targeting rule is based on a forecast of the economy while the instrument rule is based on the state of the economy.
