The difference between EBIT and EBITDA is depreciation and amortisation - why include or exclude depreciation and amortisation? In both cases we are trying to estimate a base level of cash flow from the business. The two key components of calculating this base level of cash flow are the profits that the business produces and the on-going investments required by the business to achieve these cash flows - the capital expenditure that the company needs to undertake to achieve the profitability. EBIT includes depreciation and amortisation, which are not cash items, but that act as estimates (imperfect - but an estimate) of capital expenditure. EBITDA removes depreciation and amortisation and thus just focuses on the profitability of a company without considering the investment required to achieve the profitability.

Its normally EBITDA and yes it is.
EBITDA of 512,725.50 - EBIT 362,450.20 = 150,275.30 Depreciation Cash flow of 34,846,125 - 150, 275.3 Depreciation = 34,695,849.70 Net Income
Ebit is found by looking at your bottom line (i.e. net income) on an income statement, and then adding back the interest expense and income tax expense (if applicable, flow through entities do not pay taxes). The reason for EBIT is to tell the interested party how effective a business is at doing what it is supposed to do by factoring out non-operational expenses. Another variant of EBIT is EBITDA which is even leaner, and additionally factors out depreciation and amortization. (I answered)
EBITDA Margin is the ratio of EBITDA to Sales Revenue. Example: Revenue of $10,458 and EBITDA of $871 yeilds EBITDA Margin of 8.3%.
EBITDA Margin = EBITDA/Sales

How to calculate the break even of EBIT
EBIT means "Earnings Before Interests and Taxes"
Yes, EBITDA Margin can be negative. When a company is positive it is due to good efficiencies processes that have kept certain expenses low. While Negative EBITDA can suggest the contrary.
Depends on what you're comparing it to. Since EBITDA is a dollar amount, it's not really something you can compare between companies, especially of different sizes. Obviously, you want EBITDA to be positive, as it is essentially revenue. It would help with comparisons to convert it to a percentage change. (EBITDA2 - EBITDA1)/(EBITDA1) where EBITDA2 is EBITDA at period 2 and EBITDA1 is EBITDA at period 1. That way, you can see how much EBITDA has grown for a given company in a percentage. Then, you can compare it to similar companies. Higher is usually better.
Not necessarily. A negative EBITDA implies that the entity is not capable to cover its interest and tax payments with its operating profits.
