If Building cost was 138000,
other Fixed Assets were 146000,
and Depreciation to date was 139000 Then book value would be less the depreciation.

However, Current Liabilities are 51000
and Net Working Capital is 94000.

Realizing that this effects the current asset book value, does it have any effect on fixed asset book value? How about Book Value on Total Assets?

Aren't you trying to say that total Depreciation is 139,000 on (138,000+146,000), so

Total Asset Cost = 284,000
Depreciation = 139,000
Book Value = 145,000

This would no affect on current asset book value. Fixed Assets and Buildings are Fixed Assets, not current ones.
