DSRI=(Receivables_t / Revenue_t) / (Receivables_t-1 / Revenue_t-1)
=(497.292 / 1757.409) / (439.133 / 1878.01)

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))
=(146.781 / (146.781 + 792.521)) / (141.64 / (141.64 + 770.334))
=0.156266 / 0.155311

=(281.089 / 1757.409) / (282.336 / 1878.01)
=0.159945 / 0.150338

=((127.032 + 539.276) / 2473.172) / ((52.381 + 572.281) / 2553.15)
=0.269414 / 0.244663
=1.1012
