Michael,

Here are two ways - the second seems to be the quicker one:

rates= {40, 38,37,36,33,32,31,30,27,23,22,21,20,16,14,13,12,10,9,6};

mat={{0, 0, 1, 2, 2, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2, 2 ,2, 0},
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 1, 2, 2, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}};


FIRST WAY

f[0]:= (++i;rates[[k]])
f[_]:=(k=++i;0)

(i=0;k=1;f/@#)&/@ mat

{{40,40,0,0,0,0,32,32,32,32,32,32,0,0,16,0,0,0,0,9},{40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40
,

40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40},{40,40,0,0,0,0,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,
    32,32,32,32,32,32,32}}


SECOND WAY

g[0,_]:=rates[[k]];
g[_,{n_}]:=(k=n;0)

(k=1;MapIndexed[g,#])&/@mat

{{40,40,0,0,0,0,32,32,32,32,32,32,0,0,16,0,0,0,0,9},{40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40
,

40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40,40},{40,40,0,0,0,0,32,32,32,32,32,32,32,
    32,32,32,32,32,32,32}}--
