Since the transistor has less then 0.3V at the collector and is in saturation, its measured hFE is less than it would be at a higher collector voltage where hFE is typically specified. Removing the collector resistor would give the hFE at 10V collector voltage.The 100k resistor has 9.3V across it because the base-emitter of the transistor is a forward-biased 0.7V diode. So the base current is 9.3V/100k= 93uA.
When the hFE is 50 then the collector current is 93uA x 50= 4.7mA.
Multisim uses an hFE value of 104 so it shows a collector current of 9.73mA.
