1. DSRI = Days Sales in Receivables Index

A large increase in DSR could be indicative of revenue inflation.
DSRI | = | (Receivables_t / Revenue_t) | / | (Receivables_t-1 / Revenue_t-1) |
= | (531.298 / 2672.148) | / | (537.702 / 2651.348) | |
= | 0.198828 | / | 0.202803 | |
= | 0.9804 |
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.

= | (GrossProfit_t-1 / Revenue_t-1) | / | (GrossProfit_t / Revenue_t) | |
= | (1444.965 / 2651.348) | / | (1473.598 / 2672.148) | |
= | 0.544993 | / | 0.551466 | |

DEPI | = | (Depreciation_t-1 / (Depreciaton_t-1 + PPE_t-1)) | / | (Depreciation_t / (Depreciaton_t + PPE_t)) |
= | (119.008 / (119.008 + 499.815)) | / | (139.662 / (139.662 + 626.262)) | |
= | 0.192313 | / | 0.182344 | |
