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)
	=	(190.35 / 1010.171)	/	(188.033 / 1097.402)
	=	0.188433	/	0.171344
	=	1.0997

GMI	=	GrossMargin_t-1	/	GrossMargin_t
	=	(GrossProfit_t-1 / Revenue_t-1)	/	(GrossProfit_t / Revenue_t)

	=	(0 / (0 + 187.538))	/	(0 / (0 + 203.817))
	=	0	/	0
