Introduction
1.1 Background
            Today the world has stepped on Science World and has changed a lot this has made people change their task in their using style, behavior and feeding hobbits too. With the changing environment, Nepalese people have also changed. People as now a day especially is in urban sector are lured towards ready made products to get hid of traditional way of working and fooding.
            To meet the needs of the people it is a challenge for the producers. The increasing technology has lead to rapid change in the needs and taste of the people. So, to overcome these challenges and to corn profit, the producers must adopt the marketing strategy.
            Selling is the artistic functions by which target market customers can be satisfied. As the fact is known better the quality better will be perception. But this is only not enough to maximize the sales. So, to maximize the sales, different types of promotional tools must be applied. Product is a process by which different kinds of goods are produced and launched in launched in the market to achieve the goal of the firm. It has been always in essential aspect he in a Manu factoring concern. The goods produced by the firm in all as we as it also a yardstick for the valuation of goodwill. Consumers are always interested to know the production system of the products they often consume. So, I have tried to present production system of one of the most frequently consumed product through this fieldwork report.
In spite of the present of bigger industries, small industries have their own contribution in the economic development of the country
            Sales policy is the kind of strategy, which helps any kind of firm to be strategy in their own field. It is the strategy or the technique for increasing the sales. The various tools of marketing mix are product mix, place mix, price mix and promotion one mix should be adopted by the firm to increase the sales volume. Only using the tools of marketing mix is not enough. The firm must provided the crevice after sales, guarantee and warrantee to the consumed the quality goods. So, that it can make competition with other company, in the competition market.
            The study presents the sales policy of Chaudhary Food Products of Rajahar. In this report the different types of selling procedures are presented. The success of any business enterprise depends upon its financial activities. Financial of a business refer to purchasing and selling activities for money. If a business organization can satisfy the needs of customers them it can easily increase the purchasing and selling activities by which it can easily and services but it is difficult sot less them at the reasonable price. For the better selling purpose it has to adopt different kings of strategies.
            The word purchasing and selling both refer to tester of ownership from one person to another person. These both are the important function of marketing each and every marketer should purchase first the sell the goods. A manufacturer is required to buy raw materials for production purposes. Similarly, a whole seller has to buy products to sell them to retainer and at last retailer has to buy products to sell them to the final consumer. Thus buying involves transfer of ownership. Efficient procurement procedure is essential for success full selling. Selling means finding the conceders and transfers them the products for value, selling is also important and complex function of marketing it involves transfer of title to buyers. The success of any business enterprise depends upon its financial activities. Financial of a business refer to purchasing and selling activities for money. The medium of exchange. If a business organization can satisfy the needs of customers them it can easily increase the purchasing and selling activities by which it can easily and services but it is difficult sot less them at the reasonable price. For the better selling purpose it has to adopt different kings of strategies.

CHAPTER-II
 RELATED LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 Conceptual Review:
As we have been assigned to perform such task for the first time in our academic life. I have consulted various literature sources written by previous student I BBS 4th in the preceding years on the related topic for the purpose of taking an idea how to give be good shape to the report so that it can give affective information to the concerning people, I have referred to field work report is written by Sandip Sharma and others.
         A part I have consulted the book of fundamental of marketing by K.D. Koirala for the basis idea of preparing the fieldwork report. Upon reading those fieldworks reports as good as the book. I have got the various literature ideas about the matters related to the fieldwork report that helped in the course of writer.
According to the Philip Kotler, “A product is anything that can be offered to market for attention, acquisition use or consumption that might satisfy be want or need. It includes physical objects, persons, place, organization & ideas.”
According to the William J. Stanton, “A product is set of tangible and intangible attribute including packaging, color, price manufactures prestige, retailers prestige and manufactures and retailers services, Which the may accept as offering want satisfaction.” Apart I have consulted the book of fundamental of marketing by K.D. Koirala for the basis idea of preparing the fieldwork report. Upon reading those fieldworks reports as good as the book. I have got the various literature ideas about the matters related to the fieldwork report that helped in the course of writer.
According to the Philip Kotler, “A product is anything that can be offered to market for attention, acquisition use or consumption that might satisfy be want or need. It includes physical objects, persons, place, organization & ideas.”
According to the William J. Stanton, “A product is set of tangible and intangible attribute including packaging, color, price manufactures prestige, retailers prestige and manufactures and retailers services, Which the may accept as offering want satisfaction.” If the needs of customers get satisfied by proper selling then the satisfied customers tend to be lifelong customers. The existence of business concern depends to a great extent upon the efficient selling of products. It
                                                                                           
2.2 Review of Previous Works:   
Bikash (2062 BS) studies on 'Purchasing and selling activities of selected firm in Butwal was performed with the objectives of identifying the purchasing and selling activities. This study concluded that these activities seem simple but very tough. Different strategies should be implemented under these activities for the success of any firm.
        For purchasing, Pyle States that "Buying comprises all those activities involved in finding out a suitable sources of supply, selecting the desired quantity, quality, grade and size and coming to an agreement with reference to the price delivery date and other condition."
          For selling American Marketing Association states that "Selling is the personal or impersonal process of assisting and persuading a prospective customer to buy a commodity or a service or to act favorably upon a idea that thus commercial significance to seller." Production of goods creates market for any product. Marketing is concerned with purchasing and selling of goods. Purchasing is the buying of goods for money or money's worth where as selling is exchange of money worth for money. As the report writer assigned to write field work report. Various sources belonging to the purchase and selling activities are reviewed for idea generation.
         "No one debates the importance of the sales force in the marketing mix sales toreros like (salaries, commission travel expense, benefits etc)." (Kotler: 1999)
"Selling is the communication of information to persuade somebody to buy something." (William: 1994)
"Buying behavior is the decision process and acts of the customer in buying and using the product." (Philip Kotler: 1999)
"The study of the decision making units and processor involved in acquiring consuming and disposing of product since, expenses  and ideas. (J.C. Moyen: 1981)
“Sales policy is an act or the process of selling something. Such as sales of goods, car, cloth etc.” (Bill Martin: 1980)
The buying and selling activities are the most important function of marketing. In today's competition environment, purchasing and selling have become very complicated job. For sell of any product, purchase should be done first. Purchasing and selling are very close to each other. They are inseparable, if one person wants to buy any product. Then the other person who owes the product must have willingness to sell it. Only if he/she can buy that product both purchasing and selling are complementary as the title of goods is transferred from the seller to purchasers, hence selling and purchasing happens at a same time. Without purchasing there is no selling a manufacturer is required to buy raw materials for production purpose. Similarly, a wholesaler has to buy products to set to the retailer and retailer has to buy products to sell them to consumer. Therefore, firstly purchasing happened them only selling. For production or for sell on for consumption purchasing is very necessary function. The exist of any business concern depends to a great extent upon efficient buying and selling of products.  Hence they are important from the point of view of the seller as well as consumer.
Chetana Stationary is largest wholesaler of books, stationeries and copies. It is situated in Amarpath, Rajahar which was established in 2042.
2.3 Research Gap
Previous researchers analyzed financial performance by using secondary source of information in terms of financial ratio. But actually speaking financial performance can be analyzed by various tools and various factor. Among them, country's environment and fiscal policy in terms of sales act directives and adequate fund may be the strong determinate for financial performance and of the sales. Present study tries to define different accord directives and financial performance of sales in Nepal by applying those various facts in the context of Nepalese sales it can be very useful or important for analyzing financial performance using capital adequacy management. Thus, present study will be fruitful to those interested person, parties professor, business man and government for academically as well as policy perspective. Hope this study will help to others in futures in the related field.
         The success of any business enterprise depends upon its financial activities. Financial of a business refer to purchasing and selling activities for money. The medium of exchange. If a business organization can satisfy the needs of customers them it can easily increase the purchasing and selling activities by which it can easily and services but it is difficult sot less them at the reasonable price. For the better selling purpose it has to adopt different kings of strategies.

METHODS
3.1 Type of Research:   
 Applied research is used to find solutions to everyday problems, cure illness, and develop DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH innovative technologies, rather than to acquire knowledge for ETHNOGRAPHIC RESEARCH knowledge sake. EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH For example, applied researchers may investigate ways to: EXPLORATORY RESEARCH . • Improve agricultural crop production GROUNDED THEORY RESEARCH. • Treat or cure a specific disease • Improve the energy efficiency of homes, offices, or modes HISTORICAL RESEARCH of transportation PHENOMENOLOGICAL RESEARCH QUALITATIVE RESEARCH QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH                                                                                           

3.2 Population and Sample:

 Populations

In statistics the term "population" has a slightly different meaning from the one given to it in ordinary speech. It need not refer only to people or to animate creatures - the population of Britain, for instance or the dog population of London. Statisticians also speak of a population of objects, or events, or procedures, or observations, including such things as the quantity of lead in urine, visits to the doctor, or surgical operations. A population is thus an aggregate of creatures, things, cases and so on.

Although a statistician should clearly define the population he or she is dealing with, they may not be able to enumerate it exactly. For instance, in ordinary usage the population of England denotes the number of people within England's boundaries, perhaps as enumerated at a census. But a physician might embark on a study

Samples

A population commonly contains too many individuals to study conveniently, so an investigation is often restricted to one or more samples drawn from it. A well chosen sample will contain most of the information about a particular population parameter but the relation between the sample and the population must be such as to allow true inferences to be made about a population from that sample.
Consequently, the first important attribute of a sample is that every individual in the population from which it is drawn must have a known non-zero chance of being included in it; a natural suggestion is that these chances should be equal. We would like the choices to be made independently; in other words, the choice of one subject will not affect the chance of other subjects being chosen. To ensure this we make the choice by means of a process in which chance alone operates, such as spinning a coin or, more usually, the use of a table of random numbers. A limited table is given in the Table F (Appendix), and more extensive ones have been published. A sample so chosen is called a random sample. The word "random" does not describe the sample as such but the way in which it is selected.
                                                                                       
3.3 Types of Data; This study attempts to analyze the relationship among sales and the various components to push the sales and the profit of the firm. The methods used for the research purpose are mentioned (listed) below:

1.5.1 Primary Data:

3.4 Data Collection Procedure:
