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))
=(86.113 / (86.113 + 153.319)) / (88.177 / (88.177 + 114.812))
=0.359655 / 0.434393

=(219.823 / 1308.866) / (191.954 / 994.176)
=0.167949 / 0.193078

=((0 + 311.45) / 2082.699) / ((47.489 + 221.091) / 1555.629)
=0.149542 / 0.17265
=0.8662
