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) |
| = | (26.353 / 1506.173) | / | (33.299 / 2583.654) |

| = | (GrossProfit_t-1 / Revenue_t-1) | / | (GrossProfit_t / Revenue_t) |
| = | (55.685 / 2583.654) | / | (55.763 / 1506.173) |

| DEPI | = | (Depreciation_t-1 / (Depreciaton_t-1 + PPE_t-1)) | / | (Depreciation_t / (Depreciaton_t + PPE_t)) |
| = | (7.824 / (7.824 + 3.402)) | / | (2.589 / (2.589 + 4.681)) |
| = | 0.696954 | / | 0.356121 |
