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) |
| = | (34.575 / 1786.997) | / | (18.201 / 1944.778) |
| = | 0.019348 | / | 0.009359 |
| | = | 2.0673 |

| = | (GrossProfit_t-1 / Revenue_t-1) | / | (GrossProfit_t / Revenue_t) |
| = | (579.366 / 1944.778) | / | (396.455 / 1786.997) |

| = | Revenue_t | / | Revenue_t-1 |
| = | 1786.997 | / | 1944.778 |
| | = | 0.9189 |
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)) |
| = | (60.734 / (60.734 + 666.498)) | / | (57.622 / (57.622 + 651.189)) |
| = | 0.083514 | / | 0.081294 |
