Procedure
Determine Quiescence or Q point voltages and currents at set points in the circuit.

The Q point biasing points are determined by
Considering DC conditions so ignore (remove for analysis) any capacitors in the circuit
Considering that no input is present and biasing set by the voltage divider at the input
The circuit is thus redrawn to represent this scenario

The Q point base voltage V_BQ is thus obtained as the voltage appearing across
the voltage divider formed by 22 kΩ and 2.7 kΩ resistors across the supply, thus

V_BQ=2.7kΩ/(22+2.7)kΩ×24=2.6V

Assuming a base emitter voltage V_BE=0.6V we can then determine the Q point
of the emitter voltage, V_BQ from

V_BQ=V_EQ+V_BE
V_EQ=V_BQ-V_BE=2.6V-0.6V=2V

We can now determine the Q point currents, initially the emitter current, i_EQ
that flows from Ohm's Law

i_EQ=V_EQ/R_E =2/100=20mA

We assume the BJT transistor draws very little base current (a good
simplification as it has a very high input resistance when connected in
common emitter configuration which is the case). Then we can determine the
Q point collector current, ...
