use multisim simulator and put multimeter across Collector and emitter this will give you Vce.
press "+Give point" if you like:arrow:
I need the Re2 resistor value before I can simulate, that's why I want the Vce value.

First, if Ic=5mA, then the voltage across Rc is 100 volts.
Second, if Ic is 5ma, then the voltage across Re is 15volts.
Back to the drawing board.
I set Vc = 5v, I also already have ( R1 || R2 ) = 52.5k, Rc = 5k, Re1 = 0.83k, Ic = 1mA, Vcc = 10v , Beta = 200 (=> Gain = 6).
The design guidelines say : 1)Write the maximum swing requirement for the output of the amp.
2)Choose a reasonable DC collector current for the first stage, IC1
3)Calculate the DC voltage for VCE1 by using condition (1)
I the think the max swing should be -5 < Vout < 5 .So what does that mean for VCE? All that means is that Vc = 5v, but that seems to say nothing about VCE.I have a feeling I should just take VCE to be 0v ( ie VBE = 0.6v & VCB = -0.6v ) so I can allow all the output voltage to swing that much, if I take
VE ( at DC ) = 5v
=> When Vout goes to -5
VE( at DC) + Vout(AC) = 0
VE( at DC) + Ve( AC) = 0
==> When Vout goes to 5v
VE( at DC) + Vout(AC) = 0
VE( at DC) + Ve( AC) = 0
If the maximum swing is -+ 5v
