Using Parity pricing, which allows us to make comparison between stock of equal value,

Current market price of common stock =$25. 25

Stock is convertible in 40 shares of stock, Therefore,

Parity price of bond = current price * number of shares

Parity price = 25.25 * 40 = $1010

Trading point = 5

This sums up to;

$1,010 + $50 = $1,060
