A large increase in DSR could be indicative of revenue inflation.

DSRI	=	(Receivables_t / Revenue_t)	/	(Receivables_t-1 / Revenue_t-1)
	=	(7.267 / 37.407)	/	(9.475 / 41.927)
	=	0.194268	/	0.225988
	=	0.8596

	=	(GrossProfit_t-1 / Revenue_t-1)	/	(GrossProfit_t / Revenue_t)
	=	(41.927 / 41.927)	/	(37.407 / 37.407)
	=	1	/	1
	=	1

DEPI	=	(Depreciation_t-1 / (Depreciaton_t-1 + PPE_t-1))	/	(Depreciation_t / (Depreciaton_t + PPE_t))
	=	(0.467 / (0.467 + 5.259))	/	(0.506 / (0.506 + 5.597))
	=	0.081558	/	0.08291
