Hello,

Can we assume the voltage encircled in red to be 3V?
What about the cuts in the line carrying Ib, do they mean anything? Or simply a printing issue?

Thanks

Not exactly, allowing for IB1.
Ignore the line cuts.

 

Since you are only looking for the transistor terminal currents, neglecting the base current in determining the base voltage should be fine. The base current is going to be about 3% of the bias circuit current. So you can expect the base to be roughly 3% lower, or about 2.9V.

If a 3% error in your answers won't cause them to be counted wrong, then you should be okay. But since you have the information you need, you might as well take the base current into account.

I think the line cut is a printing issue.

 

Yes - I agree with WBahn.
According to my (rough) calculation the base voltage is even closer to 3V as estimated by WBahn. It is about VB~2.96 volts.
