Is Depreciation Expense is reported on the balance sheet as an addition to the related asset?

No depreciation expense is recorded in the income statement. As you know though every debit needs a corresponding credit so for the amount of the debit to depreciation expense in the income statement there is a corresponding credit to accumulated depreciation in the balance sheet. Which is a reduction of a fixed asset or more of a contra account to the fixed asset account. So you'd have the fixed asset cost, a debit balance, and an accumulated depreciation account, a credit balance. These two accounts when combined represent your net book balance of your fixed assets.
