Required:

1. Prepare a long-range performance report for 2015. What does this report tell the management of Nabors? Enter all answers as positive amounts. If the budget variance amount is unfavorable enter "U" in the last column of the table. Enter "F" if it is favorable. Round percentage answers to two decimal places, if rounding is required. For example, 5.789% would be entered as "5.79". Enter "0" as the target cost amount if there would be no cost at the zero-defect state.
