PLEASE MAKE IT IN EXCEL AND SHOW THE FORMULAS

Comercial El Alacrán, S.A., purchases 200,000 units per year of the only product it sells. The cost of each order is $35.00. The annual unit maintenance cost is 23% of its cost of $8.00. The supplier currently takes 5.5 days to deliver, and the company sorts and stores it in 3 days. The company makes significant efforts to shorten these lead times. If it manages to reduce, through an agreement with the supplier, its delivery time to 3.5 days and to do the sorting in 1.5 days, how many units does the decrease in the reorder point amount to?
