    It would be wise to use the CAPM capital cost.

    Explanation:

    It should use the Capital Assets Pricing Model.

    The market rate is not sufficient. It is included in the CAPM calculation to asses the impact in the firm or industry beta and the free-risk rate.

    The return for the dividend grows model is calculated with the current stock price and expected dividends. We can't know for sure if the stock wasn't undervalued or overrated at the moment of solving for return.

    The CAPM model takes consideration of the current market interest rate, the own non-diversifiable risk of the firm and the fact of a free-risk interest rate. It is the better option
