I'd like to understand, how should I interpret the VFIAX mutual fund historic prices, which can be found @ Google Finance and @ Yahoo!Finance. For example, both these sites show the VFIAX closing price $428.91 on 12/21/2021. However when I look at my account history @ Vanguard, I see that I've purchased a piece of this fund @ $421.39 on this date.

Why this discrepancy? Is some price adjustment involved here? If yes, then how they calculate the adjusted price?

VFIAX closed at 421.39 on 12/20/2021 (both Google and Yahoo show this). I suspect that Vanguard filled your order on the 20th, not the 21st. It's possible that the funds were settled the next day - you'd have to ask Vanguard.
