Answer: $925.505

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of years of service = 35

Jennifer's average annual salary = $26,443

There is one assumption that she will receive 42% of her average annually.

= $11,106.06

Jennifer expect to receive on a monthly basis = $\frac{Receive\ on\ annually\ basis}{12}$

= $\frac{11,106.06}{12}$

= $925.505
