<image>Suppose that in the circuit shown in <image 1>, $V_{CC}$ = 24 V, RB = 960k$\Omega$, RC = 7 k$\Omega$, $\beta $ = 80, and the leakage is egligible. What is the value of of $V_{CE}$, where $V_{CE}$ is the collector-to-emitter voltage ?

Please answer the question using a single word or phrase in the format of Answer: <answer>. You FIRST think about the reasoning process as an internal monologue and then provide the final answer. The reasoning process MUST BE enclosed within <think> </think> tags. Please answer the final answer within the <answer> </answer> tags.
