                  In considering the issues raised by respondent’s                    
             motion, it is important to note that the interest computed               
             at any particular time is based upon the outstanding                     
             balance in petitioner’s account.  An interest factor is                  
             applied to that balance for the number of days that elapsed              
             before the date of the next event that changed the account               
             balance, or before the date of a change in the rate of                   
             interest.  If the effective date of a transaction were                   
             changed, then that would not only cause the account balance              
             to change; it would also cause the amount of interest, and               
             possibly the kind of interest (i.e., underpayment or                     
             overpayment interest), computed on that balance to change.               
             Furthermore, the aggregate amounts of underpayment and
