Default SKEW and KURT functions

Why does excel return the unit of measure when skewness or kurtosis is
calculated?

Example: I have a range of dollar values in C2:C120. =SKEW(C2:C120) returns
$5.28.

Does it make sense to talk about the skewness or kurtosis of a population in
terms of its units of measure?
