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) |
| = | (355.19 / 3562.785) | / | (428.745 / 3671.864) |
| = | 0.099694 | / | 0.116765 |
| | = | 0.8538 |
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) |
| = | (872.107 / 3671.864) | / | (749.494 / 3562.785) |
| = | 0.237511 | / | 0.210367 |
| | = | 1.129 |

| = | (1 - (739.114 + 365.19) / 2528.861) | / | (1 - (1048.356 + 427.04) / 3109.135) |

Ratio of Revenue in year t to sales in year t-1.
Sales growth is not itself a measure of manipulation. However, growth companies are likely to find themselves under pressure to manipulate in order to keep up appearances.

| = | Revenue_t | / | Revenue_t-1 |
| = | 3562.785 | / | 3671.864 |
| | = | 0.9703 |
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)) |
| = | (168.575 / (168.575 + 427.04)) | / | (137.722 / (137.722 + 365.19)) |
| = | 0.283027 | / | 0.273849 |
