### Problem Statement: Utility Function and Production Function Analysis

**8.** Given the utility function 
\[ U(c_t, d_{t+1}) = \ln c_t + \beta \ln d_{t+1} \]
and the production function 
\[ F(K_t, L_t) = K_t^\alpha L_t^{1 - \alpha} \]
where \( c_t \) is the consumption of the young, and \( d_{t+1} \) is the consumption of the old.
- \( K \) is the physical capital 
- \( L \) is the labor

**Growth Rate of Population:**
The growth rate of population is given as:
\[ N_{t+1} = (1 + n)N_t \]

**Constraints:**
The constraints are given as follows:
1. \[ c_t + s_t = w_t \]
2. \[ d_{t+1} = R_{t+1} s_t \]

Find the steady-state values of per capita physical capital, saving rate, and consumption rate.
