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))
=(569.747 / (569.747 + 4329.114)) / (541.964 / (541.964 + 3873.023))
=0.116302 / 0.122756

=(604.828 / 1434.621) / (1053.628 / 176.545)
=0.421594 / 5.968042

7. LVGI = Leverage Index

The ratio of total debt to Total Assets in year t relative to yeat t-1.

An LVGI > 1 indicates an increase in leverage

LVGI=((LTD_t + CurrentLiabilities_t) / TotalAssets_t) / ((LTD_t-1 + CurrentLiabilities_t-1) / TotalAssets_t-1)
=((154.699 + 27497.368) / 7554.726) / ((256.442 + 12575.31) / 9394.57)
