5. DEPI = Depreciation Index

Measured as the ratio of the rate of Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization in year t-1 to the corresponding rate in year t.

DEPI greater than 1 indicates that assets are being depreciated at a slower rate. This suggests that the firm might be revising useful asset life assumptions upwards, or adopting a new method that is income friendly.

DEPI=(Depreciation_t-1 / (Depreciaton_t-1 + PPE_t-1)) / (Depreciation_t / (Depreciaton_t + PPE_t))
=(29.671 / (29.671 + 151.22)) / (26.207 / (26.207 + 148.53))
=0.164027 / 0.14998

=(273.989 / 1402.156) / (323.513 / 1541.3)
=0.195406 / 0.209896
