st: Take the value from variable X if year equals 2010

Hey,
I have the following table
Year Adjustment factor Dollar
2005 3 500
2004 2 200
2009 4 300
2010 7 400
2009 4 200
2010 7 100
.... ...
Now I want to generate a new variable. The new variable is
Dollar * Adjustment factor of year 2010
--> Basically, I want to multiply all my dollar values with the
adjustment factor of 2010.
This seems easy, but I don't get it.
Something like:
gen newdollar = dollar*(adjustment factor if year=="2010")
Thanks
