=1.2135

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))
=(71.277 / (71.277 + 74.669)) / (81.59 / (81.59 + 74.49))
=0.488379 / 0.522745
=0.9343

=(149.694 / 947.355) / (149.323 / 780.71)
=0.158013 / 0.191266
