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)
=(294.2 / 1582.503) / (300.404 / 1372.701)
=0.185908 / 0.218842

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)

=0.549105 / 0.571893
=0.9602

3. AQI = Asset Quality Index

AQI is the ratio of asset quality in year t to year t-1.

Asset quality is measured as the ratio of non-current assets other than Property, Plant and Equipment to Total Assets.

=(1 - (3486.91 + 1867.243) / 6180.925) / (1 - (3661.148 + 1981.304) / 6710.493)

SGI=Sales_t / Sales_t-1
=Revenue_t / Revenue_t-1
=1582.503 / 1372.701
=1.1528

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))
=(175.241 / (175.241 + 1981.304)) / (175.636 / (175.636 + 1867.243))
=0.08126 / 0.085975
=0.9452

Note: If the Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization data is not available, we assume that the depreciation rate is constant and set the Depreciation Index to 1.

=(558.149 / 1582.503) / (571.205 / 1372.701)
=0.3527 / 0.416118
=0.8476

LVGI=((LTD_t + CurrentLiabilities_t) / TotalAssets_t) / ((LTD_t-1 + CurrentLiabilities_t-1) / TotalAssets_t-1)
=((695.127 + 744.65) / 6180.925) / ((719.252 + 925.22) / 6710.493)
=0.232939 / 0.24506
=0.9505
