There is no such general formula. What you are talking about is
dimini****ng marginal productivity. Lysander is trying to explain

Whether strength of body or of mind, or wisdom, or virtue,
are found in pro****tion to the power or wealth of a man is
a question fit perhaps to be discussed by slaves in the
hearing of their masters, but highly unbecoming to
reasonable and free men in search of the truth.
