Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'low' (insufficiently high) with 'price' (money required to buy an item); a B1 learner who knows both words can infer it denotes a comparatively small or affordable cost. This adjective+noun composition is a basic, cross-linguistically common pattern and therefore immediately comprehensible to learners.
Etymology
Low price makes a clear picture: think of a shop tag showing a low number for the price, so it looks smaller than the others. So, low price means a cost that is smaller than usual and makes something 'affordable'.
