excel spreadsheet not multiplying correctly

I am multiplying a column with square feet with a column with a dollar figure and the answer is incorrect when checked with a calculator. 

I cannot figure out why this is happening.

      I am multiplying a column with $13.77 with a column that has 1015 square feet to get the total cost of the square footage. the answer in Excel is 123,973.13. My calculator has $13976.55.
