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) |
| = | (349.676 / 1197.248) | / | (351.188 / 1169.258) |
| = | 0.292066 | / | 0.300351 |
| | = | 0.9724 |
2. GMI = Gross Margin Index

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) |
| = | (554.216 / 1169.258) | / | (582.785 / 1197.248) |

| = | Revenue_t | / | Revenue_t-1 |
| = | 1197.248 | / | 1169.258 |
| | = | 1.0239 |
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)) |
| = | (71.252 / (71.252 + 99.828)) | / | (72.508 / (72.508 + 80.761)) |
| = | 0.416484 | / | 0.473077 |
