My answer would be E.
(1) Insufficient -- you need the ratio of first half sales to second half sales.
(2) Insufficient -- Doesn't tell you anything. Because you're working with ratios, the actual price doesn't matter. The ratio of prices is enough. This additional info doesn't help with the problem.
(C) Insufficient. Because (2) doesn't tell you anything useful, you are still left with only (1) off of which to work. We already decided (1) wasn't sufficient.

I got E as well:
(1) Based on this statement, we can tell that the overall ratio for the year 2003 must be between 3:2 and 2:1, but we don't know exactly where in the middle is the ratio.
(2) Fine, we now have the price for each computer and each printer, but we don't know how many of each was sold.
(1 & 2) both the statements is useless because we don't know the exact number of computers and printers sold, and we also don't know where exactly in between 3:2 and 2:1 our overall ratio is standing.
hence, E.
