I wonder about line 107. room_flooring is called out but I can't find where that method is in that class.

[JamesCherrill]

Line 107
getArea is a method in the RoomDimension class, but you try to call it using an instance of RoomFlooring
(and vice-versa for the material costs)

ps
Line 102
your main method is declared as an instance method but it should be static

pps
Java conventions are to use camel case and no underscores for member names, eg roomDimensions, getMaterialCost

[JamesCherrill]

That's right.
The only thing the PriceCalculator class does is to run a test case. You can put all that into the main method. There's no need to create an instance, or to have instance variables. Local variables in the main method will do.

[JamesCherrill]

If you really have put it all in the main method then you will have no non-static variables, so you cannot get the same message about non-static variables!. Let's see your latest version of the PriceCalculator class.
