Airport GSE Warranty Cost at 54% covered warranty claim share: a worked example

This worked example runs the airport gse warranty cost numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: 54% covered warranty claim share instead of the typical 75%. Estimate GSE warranty cost from expected claims, average claim value, covered claim share, and fixed administration or campaign cost.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Expected GSE warranty claims: 64 claims (held at the documented default)
  • Average cost per warranty claim: 1,250 $ / claim (held at the documented default)
  • Covered warranty claim share: 54 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 75)
  • Fixed warranty administration cost: 22,000 $ (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Covered warranty claim cost = expected warranty claims × average cost per claim × covered claim share.
  • Total GSE warranty cost works out to 65,200 $ warranty cost at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Average cost per warranty claim works out to 1,019 $ / piece at these inputs.
  • Covered warranty claim cost works out to 43,200 $ at these inputs.
  • Fixed warranty administration cost works out to 22,000 $ at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where covered warranty claim share sits at 75% and the headline result is 82,000 $ warranty cost, this scenario comes in 20.49% below the baseline at 65,200 $ warranty cost.
  • Use it when setting a warranty accrual, pricing warranty into a GSE unit, or tracking whether claim experience is trending against budget. A result at this level usually justifies acting on the stressed input before touching anything else, because every other figure in the table is downstream of it.
