YU, J. (concurring)
¶ 20 The majority opinion arrives at the right result, but its simple conclusion is lost in its meandering analysis. As succinctly summarized by the petitioner: "In deciding whether the appealing party improved its position, an ordinary person would compare the amount the party would have had to pay to satisfy the arbitration award to the amount the party would be required to pay to satisfy the trial court judgment." Pet'r *105Bearden's Suppl. Br. at 5 (formatting omitted). This court agrees. Therefore, the calculation must include statutory costs. No mind-boggling, convoluted explanation is required.
¶ 21 I concur.
