I've got a simple cell calculation, =@2 * 40
If @2 contained 10, is there anyway to force this to show as $400.00? I've
combed through the info file, and if it is there I'm blind.

This seems to work (apart from the alignment):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
| a | b |
|---+--------|
| 1 | $8.25 |
| 2 | $16.50 |
| 3 | $24.75 |
#+TBLFM: $2 = 8.25*$1;$%.2f
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

For David's benefit, if alignment matters, you could use something like
";$%6.2f" for the formatting specification (with 6 changed to something
that is appropriate for the scale of values you expect and whether you
like a space after the $).
