"Subjects expressing periods of time, amounts of money, or quantities may take either singular or plural verbs depending on whether represent a total amount or a number of individual units. For example, 'Four weeks is not enough vacation time' and 'Two days have passed since I asked for your response.'" – RegDwigнt Aug 09 '17 at 11:55

Probably, because the phrase "Eight dollars" is considered as price, which is singular.
