$45,000

Explanation: As a part‑year resident (became a CA resident July 1), California taxes income earned while you are a resident (worldwide) and income from California sources while a nonresident. The $50,000 was earned and received in Montana before he became a CA resident, so it is not taxable by California; the $45,000 earned after July 1 is taxable by California.
