What is this belt called and how much does it cost to replace?

Have a Dodge Ram truck and when I open the hood, there's a large belt on the engine that's visible. I noticed that about 1/4 inch of the belt was cut off for some reason. I removed that part. The rest of the belt seems kinda cracked.

Take a wrench and the idler pulley will shift and loosen to replace. Put new belt in, and MAKE SURE it's lined up properly and then put tension back on by the pulley you loosened up.
