This looks about right to me. Unless my maths is wrong, I had to convert to metric and back also.
Which begs the question, when you enter speed in FMB, are you entering IAS or TAS? Does FMB calculate the difference?
Interestingly, she really wanted to climb so lots of down trim was needed. Might test the altitude again to see if anything has changed.
