1. DSRI = Days Sales in Receivables Index
Measured as the ratio of Revenue in Total Receivables in year t to year t-1.
A large increase in DSR could be indicative of revenue inflation.
| DSRI | = | (Receivables_t / Revenue_t) | / | (Receivables_t-1 / Revenue_t-1) |
| = | (2608.266 / 32663.513) | / | (2257.719 / 30406.611) |
| = | 0.079853 | / | 0.074251 |
| | = | 1.0754 |
2. GMI = Gross Margin Index
Measured as the ratio of gross margin in year t-1 to gross margin in year t.
Gross margin has deteriorated when this index is above 1. A firm with poorer prospects is more likely to manipulate earnings.
| GMI | = | GrossMargin_t-1 | / | GrossMargin_t |
| = | (GrossProfit_t-1 / Revenue_t-1) | / | (GrossProfit_t / Revenue_t) |
| = | (6830.466 / 30406.611) | / | (7587.296 / 32663.513) |
| = | 0.224638 | / | 0.232287 |
| | = | 0.9671 |

| = | (1 - (9447.98 + 4429.226) / 15515.808) | / | (1 - (8853.964 + 3688.681) / 14075.115) |

| | = | 1.0742 |
5. DEPI = Depreciation Index

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)) |
| = | (854.588 / (854.588 + 3688.681)) | / | (1002.105 / (1002.105 + 4429.226)) |
| = | 0.1881 | / | 0.184504 |
