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)
	=	(24.287 / 69.026)	/	(37.928 / 72.471)
	=	0.351853	/	0.523354
	=	0.6723

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

	=	(0.183 / (0.183 + 99.743))	/	(0.196 / (0.196 + 134.47))
	=	0.001831	/	0.001455
