Summary:
When I schedule a price change for an app the wrong dates are set unless I adjust my local Mac timezone to be Pacific Time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Set timezone to Eastern instead of Pacific
2) Navigate to the Pricing and Availability section for an app
3) Click “Plan a Price Change”
4) Choose a new price, a start date and end date
5) Click “Done”
6) Verify those dates have been entered corrected by examining the price schedule
7) Click “Save”

Expected Results:
Those dates will be saved and the app will change price at the start date requested.

Actual Results:
The dates are adjusted and the app will change price a day earlier than intended.

Regression:
Tested in Safari on a Mac running OS X 10.11.6
The timezone is the critical part. I’ve reproduced with my local timezone in Europe, Eastern Time in the US, and Mountain Time in the US.
If I set the timezone to Pacific it works as expected.
