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)
=(114.3 / 753.2) / (101.6 / 678.4)
=0.151753 / 0.149764
=1.0133

2. GMI = Gross Margin Index

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)
=(476.4 / 678.4) / (517 / 753.2)

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))
=(52.7 / (52.7 + 187.3)) / (61.9 / (61.9 + 180.6))
=0.219583 / 0.255258
=0.8602

=(572.9 / 753.2) / (514.7 / 678.4)
=0.760621 / 0.758697
