After considering an entity's negative trends and financial difficulties, an auditor has substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. The auditor's considerations relating to management's plans for dealing with the adverse effects of these conditions most likely would include management's plans to:
　　a. Increase current dividend distributions.
　　b. Increase ownership equity.
　　c. Purchase assets formerly leased.
　　d. Reduce existing lines of credit.
　　Explanation
　　Choice "b" is correct. The auditor considers any of management's plans that might serve to mitigate the adverse effects of particular conditions and events. Typically, plans to increase ownership equity, to borrow money, to restructure debt, to sell assets, and/or to reduce or delay expenditures might all be considered mitigating factors.
　　Choices "a", "d", and "c" are incorrect. Increasing dividend distributions, reducing lines of credit, and purchasing assets would not improve a weak cash flow situation.
