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) |
| = | (676.844 / 1686.402) | / | (450.911 / 801.068) |
| = | 0.401354 | / | 0.562887 |
| | = | 0.713 |
2. GMI = Gross Margin Index
Measured as the ratio of gross margin in year t-1 to gross margin in year t.
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) |
| = | (575.754 / 801.068) | / | (1224.261 / 1686.402) |
| = | 0.718733 | / | 0.72596 |
| | = | 0.99 |

| = | Revenue_t | / | Revenue_t-1 |
| = | 1686.402 | / | 801.068 |
| | = | 2.1052 |
5. DEPI = Depreciation Index

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)) |
| = | (2.407 / (2.407 + 11.451)) | / | (1.747 / (1.747 + 9.322)) |
| = | 0.17369 | / | 0.157828 |
