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)
=(1992512.534 / 5328252.666) / (481626.911 / 1977224.909)
=0.373952 / 0.243587
=1.5352

2. GMI = Gross Margin Index

Measured as the ratio of gross margin in year t-1 to gross margin in year t.

GMI=GrossMargin_t-1 / GrossMargin_t
=(GrossProfit_t-1 / Revenue_t-1) / (GrossProfit_t / Revenue_t)
=(692446.639 / 1977224.909) / (1866987.324 / 5328252.666)
=0.350211 / 0.350394
=0.9995

=(1 - (5953947.601 + 4862910.083) / 31776573.04) / (1 - (2212560.051 + 1133541.926) / 8140640.589)
=0.659596 / 0.588963

=Revenue_t / Revenue_t-1
=5328252.666 / 1977224.909
=2.6948

5. DEPI = Depreciation Index

Measured as the ratio of the rate of Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization in year t-1 to the corresponding rate in year t.

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))
=(168378.179 / (168378.179 + 1133541.926)) / (521866.806 / (521866.806 + 4862910.083))
=0.129331 / 0.096915
