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) |
| = | (1969 / 11484) | / | (2091 / 11479) |
| = | 0.171456 | / | 0.182159 |
| | = | 0.9412 |
2. GMI = Gross Margin Index
Measured as the ratio of gross margin in year t-1 to gross margin in year t.
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) |
| = | (3681 / 11479) | / | (4124 / 11484) |
| = | 0.320673 | / | 0.359108 |

| = | (1 - (7993 + 4339) / 28667) | / | (1 - (6293 + 4955) / 30978) |

| = | Revenue_t | / | Revenue_t-1 |
| = | 11484 | / | 11479 |
| | = | 1.0004 |
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)) |
| = | (1142 / (1142 + 4955)) | / | (1015 / (1015 + 4339)) |
| = | 0.187305 | / | 0.189578 |
