Some of us do buy magic ammo, because they don't make slaying bows.  The 50% assumes find and broken. 

And no, it is only for enchanted ammunition.  Ammo inherits the bonuses of the weapon firing it, but only if the ammo
doesn't have a better enchantment.

Things like holy on the bow and things like bane on the arrow stack.  For enhancement bonuses you use whichever is higher, 
the bow or the ammo.

Also, be aware of the FAQ item from Friday, May 12, 2017.

Quote:
Magic Ranged Weapons and Ammunition: When a ranged weapon shares its enhancement bonus with its ammunition, does this count as “true” enhancement bonus or more like a temporary bonus like greater magic weapon? In other words, does the shared enhancement bonus allow the arrow to bypass damage reduction as if it was cold iron, silver, adamantine, and aligned?


No, other than the ways indicated in the Core Rulebook (if the ranged weapon is at least +1, they count as magic, and if the ranged weapon is aligned they count as that alignment as well) the enhancement bonus granted to ammunition from the ranged weapon doesn’t help them overcome the other types of damage reduction. Archers and other such characters can buy various sorts of ammunition or ammunition with a high enhancement bonus to overcome the various types of damage reduction.

Enhancement Bonus on the Bow doesn't overcome DR (other than magic).  Hooray for Clustered Shots!
