`
`This is the generic class for apparatus and correspond—
`ing methods for performing data processing operations,
`in which there is a significant change in the data or for
`perfonning calculation operations wherein the apparatus
`or method is uniquely designed for or utilized in the
`
`practice, administration, or management of an enter—
`prifi, or in the processing of financial data.
`
`This class also provides for apparatus and correspond—
`ing methods for performing data processing or calcrrlat—
`ing operations in which a charge for goods or services is
`determined.
