I'd say net fixed assets = total fixed assets - total debt - preferred stock (at par).

Once again, this is a measure of ownership (of the common stockholders).

One could possibly make a case to subtract only debt secured by fixed assets (rather than total debt), but the definition above seems to be more common.

hrmm. subtract total debt and preferred stock at par. hrmm. that doesn't quite jive with what I think I'm trying to find... as it reduces my divisor.

this calls for another PM... this time perhaps an even exchange of info (for your own benefit, perhaps... although I strongly suspect you are perfectly capable of calculating your own value investing metrics)
