    The Tangshan's book value per share of common stock is $15

    Explanation:

    By applying the accounting equation, first we have to compute the value of total equity.

    We know that,

    Accounting equation is equals to

    Total Assets = Total Liabilities + Total Equity

    $60 million = $45 million + Total Equity

    Total Equity = $60 million - $45 million = $15 million

    Hence, total equity is $15 million.

    Now the book value of per share of common stock is calculated by applying a formula which is shown below

    = Total Equity : Outstanding Shares

    = $15,000,000 : 1,000,000

    = $15

    Thus, The Tangshan's book value per share of common stock is $15
