Default Should I use INDEX?

Hello,
I am thinking of using INDEX function, but not quite sure how to approach it.

Here is my sample data. I need to produce the last column with a formula.
Any ideas? If Column A is the same then what is the lowest value in Column C
then the answer is in Column B.
Results needed
9876 ABC Divison 145 Smart Move
9876 Smart Move 112 Smart Move

1234 MMM Inc. 78 MMM Inc.

One way is to sort them by Col A x Col C
then enter this in D1 (assuming no header row)
=A1
then this in D2
=IF(A2=A1,D1,B2)
and copy it down...

Sheeloo,
Not sure if this works for me. Is there a way to utilize INDEX and LOOKUP
features?
I tried this and it did not work.
