Circuit Transformations Method - A Training Exercise

Suppose we want to evaluate the output resistance of the following CE intermediate stage of the AmpOp 741:

   

The 50k resistance refers to the previous stage output resistance and the transistor has b = 200, VA = 125 V and IC = 550 mA. Therefore, rp = 9.09 kW and ro = 227 kW.

First, we draw the small signals equivalent circuit.
