DFW-EZE Business, Round Trip = (5.25K x 1.25 x 2) = 13K
SCL-EZE Business, One Way = (1K x 1.25) = 1.25K
The class bonuses (1.5 and 1.25) are inapplicable to calculating EQMs. Your itinerary will earn you 14.5k EQMs. However, since all your segments are in paid first and business you'll earn 1.5 EQP (point) per EQM. Thus, you'll earn 21.75k EQPs. Neither metric will earn you Gold after the trip.
