My B-1 visa was rejected five months ago, will this impact a new B-2 application?

The fact that you've had a previous refusal will not count against you as such. ie, there's no different process for someone that has had a previous refusal for the reason you have.

However, the consulate staff that are processing your new application WILL have access to the details of your previous application, along with the notes that the previous staff recorded as to why they refused your application. The person processing your new application will take these notes into account when deciding whether to approve your new visa.

If you are aware of a reason why you suspect that your visa was previously rejected then I would suggest taking specific evidence with you to help counter such issues. For 214(b) that could include things like bank statements, housing details, detailed itinerary for your time in the US, return travel information, etc
