Is this calculation correct for tier miles, assuming that the great circle mileage is correct?

CMB-DXB 2040 * 1.5 = 3060 tier miles (biz class bonus)
DXB-KIX 4717 * 2.0 = 9,434 tier miles (1st class bonus)

Total for a one-way trip 12,494 or 24, 988 for a return trip just 12 miles short of silver.
