Answer

0.65 V

Work Step by Step

We are told the gain of the transistor amplifier and the ac base current, so we can calculate the ac output current. $$i_C=(\beta)( i_B)$$ Use Ohm’s law. The ac output current (collector) multiplied by the output resistance equals the ac output voltage. $$V_{out}=i_CR_C=(\beta)( i_B)(R_C)$$ $$ = (85)(2.0\times10^{-6}A)(3.8\times10^3 \Omega)=0.65 V$$
