The formula to get the cost for a companion's hire is:
((X+5)^2+40)/5
The X is the companion's level, the 5 in (X+5) is the first 5 in the code, which is in red. The 40 is the blue 40 in the code, and the last 5 is the green 5 in the code. Theoretically, if you lower the green 5, increase the blue 5, or increase the red 40, the companion's price will increase; if you increase the green 5, decrease the blue 5, or decrease the red 40, the price will decrease. At least, that's what G36E tells me.
Those are the mercenary hire costs, I was completely confused by your "mercenary companions" thingy.
The companion hire costs come under scripts.txt, initialize_npcs
initialize_npcs -1
