Because Direct Materials Inventory reports the standard cost of the actual materials on hand, we reduce the account balance by $870 (290 yards used $3 standard cost per yard). After removing 290 yards of materials, the balance in the Direct Materials Inventory account is $2,130 (710 yards x $3 standard cost per yard).

Void is the Java keyword that tells the compiler that a function will not be returning any value after it is executed. Return is the Java keyword that tells the compiler what will be returned when a function is finished. For instance, you make two functions, square() and calcSquare(), which both calculate the square of a number.
