Explanation:

Present value = Cash flow / (1+r) ^n

where n is the number of years

Cash flow 1:

$1,150/1.11^1

=$1,036

Cash flow 2:

$1,030/1.11^2

=$835.97

Cash flow 3:

$1,520/1.11^3

Cash flow 4::

$1,880/1.11^4

=$1,238.39

Present Value of all the cash flows is

$1,036 + $835.97 + $1,111.41 + $1,238.39

=$4,221.77
