Tony, aka Stockman
Since you obviously did not listen to the conference call its time for us to bring back Alberts Fools School. I know you didn't graduate. According to the conference call AMD has not started to borrow from the German government those loans will start sometime this year. So lets look at AMD's Balance sheet which should reflect all current assets and liabilities. As you requested Plant and Equipment are tangible long lived assets and may have their costs allocated to expenses by depreciation over their useful lives.

Outstanding Shares = 141,770,000 marketguide.com
The book value of a share of stock is one share's equity in the corporations net assest as recorded in the corporations accounts. Since AMD only has common stock the book value is determined by dividing the total stockholders equity by the number of outstanding shares.
So 2,029,543,000/141,770,000 = 14.316
I hope I didn't make this too hard.
