A) $171,000 favorable

Static Budget variance is calculated by simply taking difference of budgeted values and actual values.

                                                                                                     

                  Static budget Variance report of Lincoln Corporation

                             Budgeted      Actual     Variance    Status

Units sold               39,000        48,000       9000       Favorable

Revenue (@$19)   $741,000    $912,000   $171,000   Favorable

Variable costs      $152,000    $167,000   $15,000     Unfavorable

Fixed costs           $50,000     $41,000     $9,000      Favorable

                                                                                                     

As Sales is increased by 9000 units and $171,000, the increase in sale is a favourable varince. So, correct option is A) $171,000 favorable.
