In the programmer’s defense: .02 isn’t exactly 50% of .05
It does have merit mathematically, I bet the designer is to blame here

It was used so that any rounding error is in favor of the sellers cash register. Any odd numbered cents value will be halved to a half cent. Someone has to eat that discrepancy due to the discrete nature of money. If they sold 5000 assets which had a half cent split, that is a 25 dollar accounting deficit. As in Las Vegas the house always wins the odds.
