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) |
| = | (259.884 / 1225.947) | / | (210.986 / 1063.702) |
| = | 0.211986 | / | 0.198351 |
| | = | 1.0687 |

| GMI | = | GrossMargin_t-1 | / | GrossMargin_t |
| = | (GrossProfit_t-1 / Revenue_t-1) | / | (GrossProfit_t / Revenue_t) |
| = | (183.801 / 1063.702) | / | (258.266 / 1225.947) |
| = | 0.172794 | / | 0.210667 |
| | = | 0.8202 |

| AQI | = | (1 - (CurrentAssets_t + PPE_t) / TotalAssets_t) | / | (1 - (CurrentAssets_t-1 + PPE_t-1) / TotalAssets_t-1) |
| = | (1 - (878.152 + 110.427) / 1370.657) | / | (1 - (1028.762 + 95.477) / 1440.86) |
| = | 0.278755 | / | 0.219744 |
| | = | 1.2685 |

| = | Revenue_t | / | Revenue_t-1 |
| = | 1225.947 | / | 1063.702 |
| | = | 1.1525 |
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)) |
| = | (84.927 / (84.927 + 95.477)) | / | (39.546 / (39.546 + 110.427)) |
| = | 0.47076 | / | 0.263687 |
| | = | 1.7853 |

| = | (15.354 / 1225.947) | / | (14.279 / 1063.702) |
| = | 0.012524 | / | 0.013424 |
| | = | 0.933 |
