Answer-

She will get $106,595.63 at the age of retirement.

Solution-

We know that,


\text{FV of annuity}=P[((1+r)^n-1)/(r)]

Where,

P = periodic payment

r = rate per period

n = number of period

Here,


P=50,\\\\r = 6.25\%\ annually=(6.25)/(12)\%\ monthly=(6.25)/(1200)\ monthly\\\\n=40\ years=40* 12=480\ months

Putting the values,


\Rightarrow \text{FV of annuity}=50[\frac{(1.0052)^(480)-1}{{0.0052}}]


\Rightarrow \text{FV of annuity}=50[\frac{12.0556-1}{{0.0052}}]


\Rightarrow \text{FV of annuity}=106595.6257

Therefore, she will get $106,595.63 at the age of retirement.
