The USD 100 increase of Load A is proportionally distributed between both shipments. This is calculated as follows: 250 / 500 * USD 100 = USD 50. USD 250 is the amount of the original freight costs of each shipment. USD 500 is the original value of the load, which is the higher level object. The load is increased by USD 100. Each shipment is increased by USD 50.

For the shipment lines of Shipment 1 the cost increase is calculated as follows: 125 / 250 * 50 = 25.
