$5,000.

Explanation: wages are sourced to where the services were performed, not to the payment date or the recipient's later residence. His last paycheck represents pay for services performed in California (while he was a CA resident), so California can tax the entire $5,000 even though the check was paid/received after he moved to Utah.
