1) Gain
vO   g m vbe Rc
It is needed to find vbe in terms of vs:

Applying inverse reflection rule:

By voltage division:
r RS
R 
1 
r -
(  ) // RE 60
1 
vbe   vs RE R vbe
r
Rs  ( ) // RE vs
1 
r +
(  ) // RE
v 1 
 o  g m  RC
vs r
Rs  (  ) // RE
1 

2) Rin  RE //(  )
1 
3) RO:
First, short circuit the input voltage source.
vs  0  vbe  0
The dependent current source g m vbe will be open circuit.
RO = RC
