A resistive load of 4 ohms is matched to the collector impedance of an amplifier by means of a transformer having a turn ratio of 40:1. The amplifier uses a DC supply voltage of 12V in the absence of input signal. When signal is present at the base, the collector voltage swings between 22V and 2V, while the collector current swings between 0.9A and 0.05A. Determine: (a) the collector impedance                    (b) Signal power output                    (c) DC power input
