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))
=(14.031 / (14.031 + 113.245)) / (17.664 / (17.664 + 183.519))
=0.110241 / 0.087801

=(0 / 345.475) / (0 / 243.877)
=0 / 0
=1
