DC Analysis of Transistor and DC Load Line

1. For the common emitter circuit shown below (see figure 1) the parameters are:

V_BB = 4 V, R_B = 220 kΩ, R_C = 2 kΩ, V_CC = 10 V, V_BE(on) = 0.7 V, and β = 200. Calculate the base current (I_B), collector current (I_C), emitter currents (IE), the V_CE voltage and the transistor power dissipation (PT). Show all work.
