BreakingPoint(Debt,AnnualInterest) Method

Gets the time point from now when the estimated cost-to-not-fix the will reach the estimated cost-to-fix the . This time point is named the breaking point.

Syntax

[Extension()]
public static TimeSpan BreakingPoint( 
   Debt debt,
   AnnualInterest annualInterest
)

Parameters

debt: The estimated cost-to-fix a set of issues, it can be negative in case of debt-diff value.
annualInterest: The estimated cost-to-not-fix per year a set of issue, it can be negative in case of annual-interest-diff value.

Remarks

The breaking point is the divided by the .
For example if the estimated cost-to-fix the is equal to 10 man-days, and the estimated cost-to-not-fix the is equal to 2 man-days per year (this is the ) then the breaking point is equal to 5 years from now.
Notice that a breaking point lower than a year means that during the next 12 monthes, it would be cheaper to fix the debt than not to fix it.
This method accepts AnnualInterest.Zero value for , in which case it returns System.TimeSpan.System.TimeSpan.Zero. If is zero, then this method returns a zero System.TimeSpan.
If the division leads to a too large value to be handled by System.TimeSpan, this method will return System.TimeSpan.System.TimeSpan.MaxValue or System.TimeSpan.System.TimeSpan.MinValue depending on the sign of the too large value.
If is overflow or is overflow this method returns System.TimeSpan.System.TimeSpan.Zero.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 11, 10, 8, 7 and Linux, MacOS with net8.0, net7.0 or net6.0 installed
