Accessing values in another class Java applet

[Programmerman]

I am trying to access a varible value from a return fuction in another class. Everytime I attempt to access the variable, it returns a null value. This is selecting from a choice control
Part of the first class called CheeseBread

public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent e)
	{
		if(e.getSource() == total1)
		{
			calc1(total.getSelectedItem());
		}
		
		if(e.getSource() == total2)
		{
			calc2(total2.getSelectedItem());
		}
		
		if(e.getSource() == total3)
		{
			calc3(cheese.getSelectedItem());
		}
	}
	
	public static void calc1(String answer)
	{
		mchoice = answer;
	}
	
	public String ranswer()
	{
		return mchoice;
	}

This is part of the second class attempting to retreive the values

public class SandwichShop extends JApplet
{
	private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
	private CheeseBread Panel1= new CheeseBread();
		private String one, two, three;
	private JTextField wow = new JTextField(9);
	
	public void init()
	{
		JPanel bigpanel = new JPanel();
		
		bigpanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(bigpanel, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
		bigpanel.add(Panel1);
		bigpanel.add(Panel2);
		bigpanel.add(Panel3);
		bigpanel.add(Panel4);
		bigpanel.add(dumb);
		String test= ("wow");
		getContentPane().add(bigpanel, "Center");
		MeatBreadCheese.calcMPrice(wow);
		
		
		
		two = Panel1.rBread();
		three = Panel1.rCheese();
		wow.setText(test);
		System.out.print(wow);
		setSize(500,500);
	}
}

What code are you talking about?
You need to give the name of the class, the name of the method and indicate with easy to see comments where you are calling the method.
