import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
\.def model_project_dsra(cfads_series, debt_service_series, months_required=6):
    df = pd.DataFrame({'CFADS': cfads_series, 'Debt_Service': debt_service_series})
    monthly_ds = df['Debt_Service'] / 12.0
    target_dsra = monthly_ds * months_required
    
    df['Surplus_Cash'] = df['CFADS'] - df['Debt_Service']
    df['DSRA_Balance'] = target_dsra
    return df
