Kicking team kicks to receiving team. Kicking team is off sides, penalized 5 yards and then kicks from 35 yard line. On ensuing kick the ball goes out of bounds. Receiving team elects to take the ball. Should it be spotted on the 35 as usual or on the 40?

Answer is yes, the penalty is enforced 25 yards from where it is kicked see section C below.
Here are your options:
ART. 9 ... A free kick shall not be kicked out of bounds between the goal lines untouched inbounds by R. If it is kicked out of bounds and R does not accept a penalty for kick-catch interference on the same kick as in 6-5-4, R has the following choices:
a. Accept a 5-yard penalty from the previous spot and have K rekick;
b. Accept a 5-yard penalty from the succeeding spot;
c. Put the ball in play at the inbounds spot 25 yards beyond the previous spot; or
d. Decline the penalty and put the ball in play at the inbounds spot.
