Answer to Question 1

When the price level rises the nominal demand for money increases by the same proportion. For example if the price level rises 5 percent, people demand 5 percent more nominal money so that they can continue to purchase the same quantity of goods and services. The nominal demand is measured in number of dollars. The real demand is the quantity of money measured in constant dollars. This amount does not change when the price level rises. The quantity of real money demanded is independent of the price level.
