A large increase in DSR could be indicative of revenue inflation.
| DSRI | = | (Receivables_t / Revenue_t) | / | (Receivables_t-1 / Revenue_t-1) |
| = | (246.967 / 447.14) | / | (340.316 / 470.024) |
| = | 0.552326 | / | 0.72404 |
| | = | 0.7628 |

| = | (GrossProfit_t-1 / Revenue_t-1) | / | (GrossProfit_t / Revenue_t) |
| = | (361.061 / 470.024) | / | (331.006 / 447.14) |

| | = | 0.9513 |
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)) |
| = | (51.154 / (51.154 + 220.857)) | / | (44.388 / (44.388 + 217.084)) |
| = | 0.188059 | / | 0.169762 |
