I_B = I_C / (saturation factor): I_B = 15mA / 10 = 1,5mA

R_B = (V_IN - V_BE) / I_B V_BE = 0,7 (silicon transistors)

R_B = (12 V − 0,7 V) / 0,0015 A       = 11,3 V / 0,0015 A       ≈ 7.533 Ω

R_LED = (12 V − 2,0 V − 0,7 V) / 0,015 A       = (9,3 V) / 0,015 A       = 620 Ω

You can use The LED before the collector, like +Vcc, Led then Collector of Transistor, it will be more easy and simple to calculate
