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) |
| = | (301.481 / 2551.604) | / | (349.818 / 2640.848) |
| = | 0.118154 | / | 0.132464 |
| | = | 0.892 |

| GMI | = | GrossMargin_t-1 | / | GrossMargin_t |
| = | (GrossProfit_t-1 / Revenue_t-1) | / | (GrossProfit_t / Revenue_t) |
| = | (1027.81 / 2640.848) | / | (1029.116 / 2551.604) |
| = | 0.389197 | / | 0.403321 |

| = | Revenue_t | / | Revenue_t-1 |
| = | 2551.604 | / | 2640.848 |
| | = | 0.9662 |
5. DEPI = Depreciation Index

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)) |
| = | (60.981 / (60.981 + 435.589)) | / | (62.065 / (62.065 + 455.325)) |
| = | 0.122804 | / | 0.119958 |
