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)
	=	(79.903 / 575.639)	/	(60.317 / 454.649)
	=	0.138807	/	0.132667
	=	1.0463

	=	(GrossProfit_t-1 / Revenue_t-1)	/	(GrossProfit_t / Revenue_t)
	=	(454.649 / 454.649)	/	(575.639 / 575.639)

	=	(24.717 / (24.717 + 262.245))	/	(27.162 / (27.162 + 295.006))
	=	0.086133	/	0.08431
