Monetary penalty that's perfectly acceptable (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fine

This clue is a double definition.

'monetary penalty' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'perfectly acceptable' is the second definition.
(fine can mean satisfactory)

'that's' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for fine that I've seen before include "Excellent kind of monetary penalty" , "Satisfactory" , "Acceptable - punishment" , "A financial penalty - excellent" , "Super" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
