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)
=(117.065 / 1189.954) / (367.957 / 3005.047)
=0.098378 / 0.122446

=(GrossProfit_t-1 / Revenue_t-1) / (GrossProfit_t / Revenue_t)
=(528.701 / 3005.047) / (316.022 / 1189.954)
=0.175938 / 0.265575

SGI=Sales_t / Sales_t-1
=Revenue_t / Revenue_t-1
=1189.954 / 3005.047
=0.396

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))
=(119.041 / (119.041 + 3348.083)) / (165.316 / (165.316 + 4015.638))
=0.034334 / 0.03954
=0.8683

Note: If the Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization data is not available, we assume that the depreciation rate is constant and set the Depreciation Index to 1.

6. SGAI = Sales, General and Administrative expenses Index

The ratio of Selling, General, & Admin. Expense(SGA) to Sales in year t relative to year t-1.

SGA expenses index > 1 means that the company is becoming less efficient in generate sales.

SGAI=(SGA_t / Sales_t) / (SGA_t-1 /Sales_t-1)
=(90.474 / 1189.954) / (99.86 / 3005.047)
=0.076032 / 0.033231

The ratio of total debt to Total Assets in year t relative to yeat t-1.

An LVGI > 1 indicates an increase in leverage

LVGI=((LTD_t + CurrentLiabilities_t) / TotalAssets_t) / ((LTD_t-1 + CurrentLiabilities_t-1) / TotalAssets_t-1)
=((2878.999 + 1616.097) / 8020.899) / ((3191.535 + 1689.635) / 8401.293)
=0.560423 / 0.581002
=0.9646
