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)
	=	(0.765 / 5.07)	/	(1.213 / 4.28)

	=	(1.525 / (1.525 + 2.355))	/	(1.137 / (1.137 + 2.282))
