Investment values are specified by humans and these values are based on human thoughts. It is quite hard to specify them in crisp values. In that manner, fuzzy logic could be the better alternative to calculate vagueness. Vague cash flows, uncertain life, and uncertain time value of money give rise to usage of fuzzy PWA. In this study, spherical fuzzy PWA method is developed to handle the fuzzy parameters of investments. Spherical fuzzy sets (SFSs) have better powerful tool in order to model the indefiniteness in investment analysis problems. To the best of our knowledge, there is no study about PWA based on SFSs method in literature. We give a numerical application of our proposed spherical fuzzy PWA method to show applicability of the proposed approach.
