That is a stupid question. Certainly not a real world question. What moron would price his boards in meters and measure them in feet? A meter is close to a yard, so 16 feet would be close to 5 meters. At $20/meter, each board would be close to $100. That is some very expensive lumber !!! So the answer would be close to $4,000.

If you were receiving a shipment of teak wood from Brazil that was cut and shipped by a French firm, would you necessarily expect English measurements?
