Morphology
The meaning 'the amount of money paid to buy something' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'purchase' (the act/transaction of buying) with 'price' (the amount of money), forming a straightforward noun-noun composition that indicates the price associated with a purchase. This compositional pattern is common across languages (e.g., Spanish 'precio de compra', French 'prix d'achat'), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will easily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Purchase price comes from simple market life: when you purchase something, that is, 'buy', you pay a price, the money given at that moment. So, purchase price means the exact amount of money paid to buy the item.
