The journal entry debiting cash and crediting capital typically occurs when a business owner invests personal funds into the business. This represents a capital contribution or owner's equity transaction. The specific term used for this entry is "Owner's Investment" or "Owner's Equity Contribution."

The journal entry would look like this:

Debit: Cash Credit: Owner's Capital

This entry reflects an increase in the company's assets (cash) and owner's equity. It's a common transaction when an owner injects personal funds into the business to provide additional capital.
