I have to design a dedicated WAN link between two offices.
What would be the appropiate math calculations to meet the bandwith? What type of network hardware should I use to interconnect the offices?

This isn't to hard, if I understand your question,
This all depends on how much data transfer you will be using. Lets say you N files you have to send per day with each file X Gb. Then to be able transmit all that dat a throughout the day is N*X/(86400) and you get the minimum bandwidth required to transmit all the data in one day.
For example, 10 files at 10 Gb each then you have a daily bandwidth requirement of 100/86400 = 10Mbps (Megabit per second), assuming you operate 24 hours at full speed, (which is usually unlikely) so you probably want to pad your bandwidth by at least 1000%, say 100Mbps. There may be other requirements you have to condider, i.e. time it takes to transfer data, and responsiveness of the network, peak usage etc. it quickly can get very complicated. Without more information this is the best I can answer.
-p.s. 86400 seconds in a day
