The work is concern with valuation of debt securities without many simplifying assumptions. For example, for coupon bonds we assume, that coupon periods are not equal and yield curve is not flat, pricing is accomplished with and without assumption about reinvestment of coupon payments. In practice, on capital market, coupon rates are linear function of forward rates, so some formulae for intrinsic value of bonds are given in this case and their properties are discussed. Also zero-coupon securities are taken into consideration.
