yes
When the yield of a bond exceeds it coupon rate, the price will be below 'par' which is usually $100.
A bond that pays 1 coupon(s) of 10% per year, that has a market value of $1,102.05, and that matures in 19 years will have a yield to maturity of 8.87%. What does it mean? Well, bond investors don't just buy only newly issued bonds (on the primary market) but can also buy previously issued bonds from other investors (on the secondary market). Depending on whether a bond on the secondary market is bought at a discount or premium, the actual rate of return can be greater or lower than the quoted annual coupon rate. This is why bond investors need to look at YTM, which measures the bond's yield from the day the investor buys it to the day it expires, when the principal is paid to the bondholder.

If the 2 5 years are exactly the same with the exception of having coupons (same lender, same claims, same everything) then yes you should be able to. The trick is finding the right yield curve and discounting everything back to the present value. The coupons can be treated as mini zero-coupon bonds in their own right.
The promised yield to maturity calculation assumes
When a bond sells at a discount, the yield is higher than the coupon rate. Your income is 1,100 x 8% = 88. You invested 970. 88/970 = 9.07% yield.
Yield usually refers to yield to maturity. If a bond is trading at par it usually means the yield to maturity is equal to the coupon.
* yield to worst (to maturity or to call date) * current yield * coupon yield

No......The price of the bonds will be less than par or 1,000.....
Bond Pricing. A 6 year circular file bond pays interest of $80 annually, and sells for $950. What are its coupon rate, Current yield, and yield maturity?
Difference enters bond's coupon interest rate the current yield y bondholder's required rate of return?
Coupon bond= pay $A now. receive future periodic coupon and at maturity receive face value Discount bond= pay $B now. receive nothing until maturity where you receive face value. B is always less than A. That is, you pay less upfront investing in Discount Bond compared to Coupon Bond. But, you don't receive periodic cash flow by investing in Discount Bond. So clearly which is better depends on how much money you have at present and your expectation of future interest rate (going up or down). If you expect interest rate/yield to go down in the future, then clearly you don't want to be sitting on a pile of money and earn meager interest on it. This is called re-investment risk. You risk having unfavorable interest rate to re-invest the cash flow (coupon) you'll get in future. In this case, locking in the current interest rate/yield by buying discount bond is preferable. The same logic apply if you expect interest rate/yield is going to rise, in which case buying a coupon bond is preferable since you can re-invest the cash flow (coupon) you'll get in future at a higher rate. You can't do so with Discount Bond coz you receive no payment and the interest/yield is locked.
The "book yield" is a measure of a bond's recurring realized investment income that combines both the bond's coupon return plus its amortization. It is defined as the bond's Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of all its cash flows. The following example illustrates the concept of book yield. A $100 par bond having a 5% coupon to be paid annually at year end is purchased for a $95 purchase price at the beginning of the year. The bond is set to mature in three years. In this example, the book yield will be greater than the 5% coupon on the discount bond as the investor will receive both the 5% coupon and the difference between purchase price and maturity value (an additional $5). The book yield at purchase will be 6.90%, which is the internal rate of return or IRR of the cash flows. The $5 discount is amortized into income over the life of the bond and the book value of the bond is increased until it reaches its par value of $100 at maturity.
Coupon rate
The rate of return anticipated on a bond if held until the end of its lifetime. YTM is considered a long-term bond yield expressed as an annual rate. The YTM calculation takes into account the bond's current market price, par value, coupon interest rate and time to maturity. It is also assumed that all coupon payments are reinvested at the same rate as the bond's current yield. YTM is a complex but accurate calculation of a bond's return that helps investors compare bonds with different maturities and coupons.
