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)
=(72.306 / 1032.923) / (87.766 / 1443.45)
=0.070001 / 0.060803
=1.1513

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)
=(476.839 / 1443.45) / (251.686 / 1032.923)
=0.330347 / 0.243664

=0.7156

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))
=(37.389 / (37.389 + 99.169)) / (42.997 / (42.997 + 71.614))
=0.273796 / 0.375156

=(383.413 / 1032.923) / (401.632 / 1443.45)
=0.371192 / 0.278244

=((30.517 + 256.682) / 634.139) / ((35.066 + 332.117) / 1069.961)
=0.452896 / 0.343174
=1.3197
