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)
=(2445.169 / 23055.669) / (2712.745 / 16457.876)
=0.106055 / 0.16483

DEPI=(Depreciation_t-1 / (Depreciaton_t-1 + PPE_t-1)) / (Depreciation_t / (Depreciaton_t + PPE_t))
=(115.85 / (115.85 + 72.493)) / (114.854 / (114.854 + 66.308))
=0.615101 / 0.633985
=0.9702

=(0 / 23055.669) / (0 / 16457.876)
=0 / 0
=1
