Total should be 43.1K RDM with a similar amount from JFK. I have not idea from where are you getting the additional 25K, since EXP earn base miles (0.5 for "O") + 120% bonus as EXP.
Several people in this thread are making some pretty serious math errors. That's the source of the confusion. Your math is correct.

Example: LAX-HKG-BKK r/t
Distance: 16,618
Fare Basis: O*
Earn Rates: 50% RDM /\ 1x EQM /\ 10% EQD

RDM Earnings
Base: 16,618 * 0.5 = 8,309
EXP Bonus: 8,309 * 1.2 = 9,971
AAV Bonus: 20,000 + 1,000 = 21,000
TOTAL RDM: 39,290
