Flying Cathay but crediting to AAdvantage please check my EQM/EQD Calculations

I'm an AA Exec Plat and rarely fly partner airlines. My client booked me on Cathay Pacific via the Cathay website (LHR-HKG-PER Round-Trip in Business Class - Fare Code I) and its crediting to my AAdvantage account. My flight leaves in 2 days and I'll be back in London before the end of the year so the calculations are based on 2018 AAdvantage/ Cathay Earnings.

Would someone be kind enough to check my math on EQM / EQD for AAdvantage.

LHR-HKG 5,994 mi
HKG-PER 3,733 mi
PER-HKG 3,733 mi
HKG-LHR 5,994 mi
TOTAL 19,454 miles distance per Great Circle Map

EQM = 19,454 x 1.5 = 29,181 EQM into AAdvantage Account

EQD = 19,454 x 0.25 = $4,863.50 EQD into AAdvantage Account.

Would anyone be kind enough to check my calculations. If my calculations are correct it will requalify me for Exec Plat status. But my math is wrong I'd love to know so that I can plan a small mileage run to make sure I requalify.

Huge Thanks in advance for any assistance
