If its an actual entrepreneurial class then go the path of least resistance:
Go onto Alibaba's goggle section, pick one you like and write down the price. Now go to 99designs.com and look at a package to create a brand.
Sign up for a Free Shopify store, and ship those bitches out of your house.
Marketing will all be done on Social Media, you'll use local riders at your mountain as a team and if you want to get extra fancy buy an ad package on Newschoolers to promote.
Tally up those costs, and tell your teacher it would be stupid to R&D an actual goggle these days when you can just buy the same goggles the big brands have paid to have manufactured from China because IP laws in China are lax as fuck.
If they give you a bad mark its a bad entrepreneur class.

As an entrepreneur your goal is to make money. How many of the shity "companies" that fallow your business plan actually make money? None. Its just a way to waist mom and dads money and clam you own a "core" goggle company. As a try entrepreneur they need to understand the business not just copy it.
Plus its a sad statement to promote the intellectual theft from companies that support the sport we love.

A lot goes into it. What level of goggle are you looking at? Flat lexane lens or spherical? Do you have access to CNC for molding and raw materials on hand? Just a single mold for casting runs around $30,000. The mold injector will run you another $45,000. Tack on, someone to run it and design the software to program it. Then the raw materials. The cost on raw is all determined on the quantity of material you are getting. Tri-density foam will run per 500 yards, Plastic pellets for frame runs per case, strap material per 100 yard. If you give me some more specifics I can get close for you. But I won't do all your homework for you sorry.

Do what bishop said if it will work for this class. Otherwise just make up some numbers and use the word "overhead" for the machines and buildings and stuff. Doesn't have to be completely accurate just make it sound like you know what you're talking about. Obviously don't just guess, but don't stress too much about being exact.
