With this data table how in excel can I find the record
with the lowest ID with a price of 103.53125 and a status of open?

If you data were in A1:G14, and if the table were sorted on ID in
ascending
order already, the following array formula will give the ID number you
seek.

=INDEX(A2:A14,MATCH(1,(E2:E14=A17)*(G2:G14=B17),0) )

If the table weren't sorted on ID, try the array formula

=MIN(IF((E2:E14=A17)*(G2:G14=B17),A2:A14))

Out of force of habit, I would use
=MIN(IF(E2:E14&G2:G14=A17&B17,A2:A14))
Mine has fewer comparisons to make, but I would imagine
the number to text conversion is inefficient.
For something this small, typing it in takes more time then
calc'ing it many, many times, so I wouldn't care. But I have
some spreadsheets that may have a few hundred array
formulas covering several thousand rows of data.
Are there any tests/studies of excel performance for various
functions and/or formula structure?
