In which of the following scenarios would fiscal policy be the more appropriate tool to use?

Which monetary policy action is most likely to slow down inflation?

Recall that: Real interest rate = Nominal interest rate – Inflation rate Suppose the expected inflation rate was 2%, but actual inflation rises unexpectedly to 6%. Below are three individuals.For each one, explain what their real interest rate is before and after the unexpected inflation jump and whether they benefit or lose from this unexpected rise in inflation and why: Alex has a 5-year car loan with a fixed interest rate of 4%. Bailey just bought a 10-year government bond that pays a fixed nominal return of 3%. Charlie (Part 1) has a variable-rate savings account. His savings account initially earned 3%.  Charlie (Part 2): After the unexpected inflation, the Federal Reserve responds with contractionary monetary policy, causing Charlie’s savings rate to rise to 5%

According to the Phillips Curve, there is typically a trade-off between inflation and unemployment in the short run. Which of the following scenarios illustrates this trade-off?
