A. Miranda.
B. New Credit.
C. Lyle.
D. any customer of Miranda’s.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B

New Credit

Explanation:

An Intended Beneficiary refers to a third-party beneficiary that will benefit from the contract between two other parties.

In this case, New Credit is the intended beneficiary. This is  because the original contract is between Lyle and Miranda. However, the terms of the contract bring New Credit in to the picture, as a party who is to have some benefits accrued to him before the contract to be fulfilled.

Hence, in this case, New Credit is the intended beneficiary because he is a third party that is benefiting from the fulfillment of Lyle and Miranda's contract
