Explanation:

The Taylor rule as presented by Economist John Taylor in 1993 in his study "Discretion Versus Policy Rules in Practice", is an interest rate forecasting model that suggests how Central Banks should control the interest rates to control inflation and other Economic conditions.

For Question 1 then, the Central Bank should RAISE RATES because their Target Inflation is less than their Expected Inflation. This would have the effect of reducing money supply which would in theory, reduce inflation.

For Question 2, Inflation needs to be placed in check as it is putting the economy out of equilibrium.

Inflation therefore needs to be controlled by the Central Bank to achieve the equilibrium that it wants.
