Answer to Question 1

Because expected inflation is irrelevant to deciding between money versus interest-bearing assets. Whether expected inflation is high or low, interest-bearing assets generate income at the nominal interest rate, and that income is the opportunity cost of holding money. Expected inflation implies a reduction in the purchasing power of money affecting equally both money held and money received as interest income.
