I am presented with the circuit shown in the figure below. enter image description here

The hand calculations are as follows: enter image description here

When I build the circuit in Multisim as shown in the image below: enter image description here

My calculations are not matching up with the simulation results. Im pretty confident in my hand calculations. It is the simulation I am not sure about, but I could be wrong. Can anyone see what I did wrong?

    \$\begingroup\$ In the multi sim model, the input to the cccs is shorting the 80 ohm resistor. \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ Put the control port of the cccs in series with the resistor instead of in parallel. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ Thank you, that worked. I would like to show the snapshot of the corrected version, should I add that as an edit to my original post? \$\endgroup\$

As The Photon suggested in his comment earlier, I was shorting out the CCCS with the 80 Ohm resistor. Below is the diagram that shows the 80 Ohm Resistor connected in series with the CCCS instead of in parallel. enter image description here
