How do I write it in excel?

I need to calculate which is more profitable and how to write this in excel?:

If I but corn at 40 and sell it at 100 and it takes two days to grow.

If I but potatos at 30 and sell for 80 and it takes 1 day to grow.

Can I use an excel graph or is there a better way?

    Enter Column Headings starting in Column A, Row 1:

    Buy, Sell, Net, Days, Net/Day, Net/$Day, Product

    In Cells A2 & A3 enter 40 & 30

    in Cells B2 & B3 enter 100 & 80

    In Cell C2 enter =B2-A2 and copy that to Cell C3

    In Cells D2 & D3 enter 2 & 1

    In Cell E2 enter =C2/D2 and copy that to Cell E3

    In Cell F2 enter =C2/(A2*D2) and copy that to Cell F3

    In Cells G2 & G3 enter Corn & Potatoes

    And the answer should be obvious without a chart.
