O metodycznej poprawności wyceny obligacji

The article concentrates on the issue of estimating the present, fair value of coupon bonds. The author takes under consideration comparison of the present value of bonds with the same face value, the same coupon yield but different interest payment frequencies. It has been shown that the commonly proposed methods lead to erroneous measurement results. Therefore, a modification in the methodology of the coupon bonds valuation was proposed. The modification concerns a different way of discounting the bond face value. The analysis was performed for the discrete and continuous time evaluation.
