Answer to Question 1

According to the Taylor rule, the short-term interest rate = Long-term target + 1.5  + 0.5 (output gap). In this case, the inflation target is 2, the long-term target for this interest rate is 3, the current rate of inflation is 5, and the output gap is -5. Therefore, the short-term interest rate = 3 + 1.5  (5 - 2) + 0.5 (-5) or 5.

Answer to Question 2

C
