A large increase in DSR could be indicative of revenue inflation.
| DSRI | = | (Receivables_t / Revenue_t) | / | (Receivables_t-1 / Revenue_t-1) |
| = | (321.833 / 2440.605) | / | (360.635 / 2719.806) |
| = | 0.131866 | / | 0.132596 |
| | = | 0.9945 |

| = | (GrossProfit_t-1 / Revenue_t-1) | / | (GrossProfit_t / Revenue_t) |
| = | (901.214 / 2719.806) | / | (949.88 / 2440.605) |

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)) |
| = | (66.816 / (66.816 + 408.615)) | / | (56.367 / (56.367 + 400.742)) |
| = | 0.140538 | / | 0.123312 |
