Abstract: Flexible reimbursement programs for medical and dependent care expenses offer significant tax advantages to employees. Since amounts sheltered must be designated at the start of each year, the employee must estimate expenses subject to uncertainty. The correct amount to be sheltered is similar to the solution of a newsboy problem and is solved in this paper.
