How much are you zoomed in in Illustrator?

Thanks for your reply. No, that is not the problem. Like I said. the box itself is 4" wide. That means the stroke is about 1" wide even though I have it set to 1pt.

Please show your entire workspace including zoom level and transform palette.

It would be easier to check what's wrong when we can see the file/problem part.
Can you share the .ai file (CC filesharing, Dropbox, Google, WeTransfer...)?

it looks like your rectangle might be 4 points wide, not 4 inches.
select the rectangle and show us the "transform panel" that indicates the height/width/x/y parameters.
My guess is that your document ruler units is points, and when you created the rectangle you typed "4" so it created a rectangle 4 points wide. if you type "4 inches" into the width input box, does the box change size?
