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) |
| = | (3103.148 / 9866.871) | / | (2882.893 / 9479.942) |

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) |
| = | (2436.482 / 9479.942) | / | (2690.717 / 9866.871) |
| = | 0.257014 | / | 0.272702 |

| = | (1 - (8542.485 + 26035.4) / 35988.443) | / | (1 - (7649.618 + 23961.062) / 33768.619) |
| = | 0.039195 | / | 0.063904 |
| | = | 0.6133 |

| = | Revenue_t | / | Revenue_t-1 |
| = | 9866.871 | / | 9479.942 |
| | = | 1.0408 |
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)) |
| = | (1440.448 / (1440.448 + 23961.062)) | / | (1486.454 / (1486.454 + 26035.4)) |
| = | 0.056707 | / | 0.05401 |
