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))
=(473.98 / (473.98 + 1761.082)) / (517.015 / (517.015 + 2607.796))
=0.212066 / 0.165455

=(277.352 / 1907.381) / (248.227 / 1759.029)
=0.14541 / 0.141116

=((1260.323 + 738.717) / 4657.461) / ((668.699 + 436.791) / 3773.585)
=0.429212 / 0.292955
=1.4651

=(NetIncome_t - NonOperatingIncome_t - CashFlowsfromOperations_t) / TotalAssets_t
=(215.836 - 0 - 748.543) / 4657.461
