How big of a file do I need for a Billboard?

For instance, if a billboard is to be 20′ wide, the vendor may ask you to send a file 20 inches wide. If the billboard will be printed at 40ppi, then your 20″ wide file would need to be set to 480ppi to allow for the scaling (12X40). 30 dpi for final output is more than enough for a billboard of that size.
