Actual inflation rate: 4 percent per year
Target inflation rate: 2 percent per year
Equilibrium real interest rate: 3 percent per year
Output gap (percentage excess of output over potential output): 2 percent
From the above data, calculate the value of the federal funds rate that would be prescribed by the Taylor rule.
