Return Value

debt.Value.BreakingPoint(annualInterest.Value) if both and are not null, else returns null.

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.
