Default product function

How can I put a formula in a cell that will give me a multiplication result
with a variable criteria.In other words I have a product function in 1 cell
then I have a list of constants and I want the sum to be varied by a choice
from a dropdown in another cell what would the syntax be?

Default product function

A1 = drop down list
B1 = 10

=A1*B1

Is the same as:

=PRODUCT(A1,B1)
