Fuzzy Rate of Return Analysis and Applications

  • Chapter
Fuzzy Engineering Economics with Applications

Part of the book series: Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing ((STUDFUZZ,volume 233))

Abstract

The definition of the fuzzy internal rate of return is not unequivocal and requires some discussion. In this chapter, crisp rate of return analysis is first introduced. Then fuzzy rate of return analysis is handled. The problem of defining fuzzy internal rate of return together with certain applications is discussed.
