Answer:

a. 4%

b. 10%

Explanation:

1. Federal funds target = Real Federal funds rate + Inflation rate + 1/2( inflation gap) + 1/2(output gap)

Inflation gap = Current inflation - inflation target = 2% - 2% = 0

Economy is at full employment so output gap is 0.

= 2% + 2% + 1/2(0) + 1/2 (0)

= 4%

2. Federal funds target = Real Federal funds rate + Inflation rate + 1/2( inflation gap) + 1/2(output gap)

= 2% + 6% + 1/2(6% - 2%) + 1/2(0)

= 10%
