Is there any particular reason that all the costs for various buildings and stuff are in multiples of 5?

I really don't know where to put this topic... So I was just wondering is there any mathematical reason or is it just simplicity for simple's sake, since doing math in multiples of 5 are simple. Especially for the cost to outfit marines.

    The most commonly dropped rine equipment, is not a multiple of 5. It is 2.

    Why not? It's not hard to make AA cost 29, HA cost 16, JP cost 13, SG cost 11, but WHY?! Notice the aliens are too... hive 40, all chambers 10, rt 15, life forms 10/30/50/75

    But yea ammo/med/cata is 1/2/3

    Marines are wasting a **** load of res on those weapons and upgrades compared with aliens.
    But aliens dont have as many as rts in early game.
    So when Aliens can give res freely like what the plug-in does.
    Then we can have a boost at hive/chamber/lifefrom or decline the cost on marine side.

    ok..seriously...Why 5? Because its easy. You dont want to have to put out the calculator every time you want to drop some HA packs...isnt that...common sense?

    HMMMMMMMM
    It is for simplicity's sake, easier on the comm so he
    doesn't have to know if he can outfit the entire squad
    with a calculator in one go...
