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)
	=	(0 / 23.395)	/	(0 / 27.256)
	=	0	/	0
	=	1

	=	(GrossProfit_t-1 / Revenue_t-1)	/	(GrossProfit_t / Revenue_t)
	=	(27.256 / 27.256)	/	(23.395 / 23.395)
	=	1	/	1
	=	1

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))
	=	(0.298 / (0.298 + 0.507))	/	(0.226 / (0.226 + 0.388))
	=	0.370186	/	0.368078

	=	((13.856 + 0) / 52.079)	/	((12.792 + 0) / 52.862)
