    The best estimate of the company's cost of equity is 11.99%.

    Explanation:

    CAPM based required return = 5% + 1.1*7%

    = 12.7%

    Dividend model required return

    35 = (1.40*1.07) / (r - 0.07)

    r - 0.07 = 0.0428

    r = 11.28%

    The best estimate of the company's cost of equity is the mean of two = (12.7% + 11.28%) / 2

    = 11.99%

    Therefore, The best estimate of the company's cost of equity is 11.99%.
