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)
=(109375879.359 / 72416132.872) / (22780676.33 / 21600741.07)
=1.51038 / 1.054625
=1.4321

2. GMI = Gross Margin Index

Gross margin has deteriorated when this index is above 1. A firm with poorer prospects is more likely to manipulate earnings.

GMI=GrossMargin_t-1 / GrossMargin_t
=(GrossProfit_t-1 / Revenue_t-1) / (GrossProfit_t / Revenue_t)
=(21600741.07 / 21600741.07) / (72416132.872 / 72416132.872)
=1 / 1
=1

=(1 - (0 + 25510057.934) / 3446437556.089) / (1 - (0 + 5583948.43) / 739687469.966)
=0.992598 / 0.992451

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))
=(1067253.919 / (1067253.919 + 5583948.43)) / (3721256.098 / (3721256.098 + 25510057.934))
=0.16046 / 0.127304
