What do you mean "going to do"? The other team has already made their choice of how to enforce the penalty. It is now something that the other team has done. For some reason you don't want to give the team a information that they need.
Dead ball fouls are penalized in the order which they occur. So the correct way to do it would be to enforce the first penalty first. Tell the captain what his options are and also tell him that his team also fouled and that the other team will be given options on how to enforce the penalty also.
Now you go to the other team and give them all the information needed for them to make a decision (where ball will be, what down it will be, how far away the line to gain is, which team will have the ball, clock status). Also remember that the rules require you to give this information to the captain. You can't just make up your own ways of doing things.
