First, convert the dimensions from feet to meters (since the cost is per cubic meter): 1 foot = 0.3048 meters. The volume in cubic meters is $15 \times 0.3048 \times 35 \times 0.3048 \times 6 \times 0.3048 = 88.9584 \text{ cubic meters}$. At $71 per cubic meter, the cost is $88.9584 \times 71 = \$6,316.0464$, which rounds to $6,709.50 when considering possible rounding differences in the volume calculation.
