const totalFines = Math.max(0, Number(inputs.totalFines || 0)); const repairCosts = Math.max(0, Number(inputs.repairCosts || 0)); const legalFees = Math.max(0, Number(inputs.legalFees || 0)); const timeDelayFactor = Math.max(0, Number(inputs.timeDelayFactor || 0)) / 100; const totalCost = (totalFines + repairCosts + legalFees) * (1 + timeDelayFactor); return { totalCost: Math.round(totalCost * 100) / 100 };Total Fines
