Default 8/4 Cost Per Boardfoot Versus 4/4 Cost?

Would someone explain to me why 8/4 cost per boardfoot is
almost twice the cost of 4/4 per boardfoot? I don't under
stand how 4/4 oak is around $3.30 a boardfoot and an
8/4 is close to $7.00 a boardfoot. Rough cut in both
cases too.

Again, the measurements are in boardfoot so the
thickness shouldn't cost more on a boardfoot basis,


Just to add to the current discussion, I happened to the yard
yesterday to buy some white oak:

4/4 was $4.76
5/4 was $5.76
8/4 was $5.46

All S2S.
