Rather hasty sums for you. All ISA and a "pristine" 400 assuming the CF6 80 C2B1F and M0.85 cruise. You need at least a current FCOM and FPPM. Write to PO box 3707 Seattle for these. Then look at the clever bits of the FMS.

This is not a very professional job and only an overview. Do NOT bet the farm on the figures, especially with 20 year old aircraft!
