So for this problem we need to find the volume. The formula for volume is

l * w * h

40 * 20 * 5.5 = 4400

So now you need to put ft into yards

4400ft = 1466.667

Now multiply this by 12

1466.667 * 12 = 17600.004

Because you cant have $00.004 I believe that for this equation you would round to the nearest hundred, so that would be $17600.01.

Your answer is $17600.01
