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) |
| = | (147.066 / 407.914) | / | (144.407 / 544.475) |
| = | 0.360532 | / | 0.265222 |
| | = | 1.3594 |

| GMI | = | GrossMargin_t-1 | / | GrossMargin_t |
| = | (GrossProfit_t-1 / Revenue_t-1) | / | (GrossProfit_t / Revenue_t) |
| = | (163.515 / 544.475) | / | (60.445 / 407.914) |
| = | 0.300317 | / | 0.148181 |

| = | Revenue_t | / | Revenue_t-1 |
| = | 407.914 | / | 544.475 |
| | = | 0.7492 |
5. DEPI = Depreciation Index
Measured as the ratio of the rate of Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization in year t-1 to the corresponding rate in year t.
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)) |
| = | (64.544 / (64.544 + 1066.354)) | / | (60.07 / (60.07 + 917.471)) |
| = | 0.057073 | / | 0.06145 |
