Debtors represents the amount you owns from from your customers. It represents the amount you will receive from your customers. Whether it will be the cost price or the sales price, it doesn't matter, if credit sales is at sale price, then sales prices is included in debtors, and if credit sale is made at cost, then cost price will be included in debtors. In nutshell, the amount receivable from your customer is included in debtors.
For depreciation, it doesn't effect directly in the calculation of working Capital. Since it is charged on fixed assets and is accounted as expense in in P&L account and is deducted from the amount of fixed assets.
For raw material, finished goods , they are the part of the stock and valuation of stock is done at lower of cost or selling price. Depreciation is not affecting them at all.

My view is calculate at selling price because the goods are sold at sale price and so the amount receivable from debtors should be at sales price.
