It seems to me the question to ask is: how will you treat this on your
taxes?
Does the conversion count as a sale where you got a capital gain? If so
I guess you can balance that transaction with an income posting. If
not, then I suppose the cost basis for the VTSAX should be 150.00 USD
per share, since that's what you originally paid for the VTSMX. I think
you can associate a date with the lot too, like {150.00 USD,
2010-01-01}, if that helps. Disclaimer: I am very much not a tax
expert!
