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) |
| = | (723.661 / 3589.018) | / | (672.332 / 3515.437) |
| = | 0.201632 | / | 0.191251 |
| | = | 1.0543 |

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) |
| = | (2249.875 / 3515.437) | / | (2257.918 / 3589.018) |
| = | 0.639999 | / | 0.629119 |

| = | (1 - (1505.58 + 15389.205) / 18757.633) | / | (1 - (1368.515 + 15631.336) / 18901.312) |

| = | Revenue_t | / | Revenue_t-1 |
| = | 3589.018 | / | 3515.437 |
| | = | 1.0209 |
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)) |
| = | (601.994 / (601.994 + 15631.336)) | / | (589.497 / (589.497 + 15389.205)) |
| = | 0.037084 | / | 0.036893 |
